Supreme Court Upholds TikTok Ban, and Domestic and Foreign Censors Rejoice–TikTok v. Garland January 17, 2025 · by Eric Goldman

4300 words of burn SCOTUS & Congress by Eric

"Congress is kicking TikTok out of the speech marketplace because it doesn’t like who owns TikTok. We’ve tolerated Congress’ control over foreign ownership of broadcasters because of the limited number of broadcast licenses, but even that restriction gives the government troubling control over who get the right to broadcast. When there isn’t a scheme of restricted licenses, giving Congress (or any legislatures) the power to pick-and-choose who owns the printing presses is extraordinarily censorial. It’s ripe for partisan abuse, too."
