If RedNote isn't banned right away, this just shows how incompetent our bourgeoisie are. A 4 year old could maintain capitalist order 10x better than these morons. Amerikkka just needs to throw in the towel. China keeps winning while this sad sack of a country can't even figure out the controls.
Donald Trump had asked the Supreme Court to delay TikTok’s ban-or-sale law to give him an opportunity to act once he returns to the White House.
This really is a hot turd no one wants to deal with, isn't it? The current administration has stated they won't enforce the law, which kicks it off to the Trump camp. It's fun watching this shit fish swim up the legal channels of our "democracy" as the rest of our dear leaders cower over who has to actually eat it.
Several justices from across the ideological spectrum also emphasized that foreign entities do not have First Amendment rights and that the site could continue to operate in a similar manner but under different, non-Chinese ownership.
Such a wide spectrum of thought, wouldn't you say Karl ol' pal?
Show
that last part kinda lays bare how material influence matters more than any notions of fReE sPeEcH because real control is exerted via the platform and its material dependencies, not the law
The American ruling class' ideological spectrum is just a line segment ranging from "We love cheap labour more than we hate POC" to "We hate POC more than we love cheap labour".
Do not take the treats away from a country of treatlers and marxist-treatlenists

Open linkedin and see who is in TikTok's US Cyber Department. A whoooole lot of BAE Systems, Lockheed, Boeing, US Department of State, XYZ Branch of Military, etc.
I'm just here to gloat a bit at all the very curious people who were for some reason convinced in the threads here on this when they were hearing it that it sounded like they were against the government and were going to rule in favor of Tiktok. Kind of reassess your thought process if that was you.
Doesn't look good to lurking liberals to see the Marxists/"leftists" making predictions like that and face-planting. One of the strongest things Marxism has going for it is predictive power. They didn't build up all that momentum and have all those issues with it just to flub it at the finish line and shrug about their norms.
But this is good ruling in that it opens the door wide for US gangsterism. Every foreign company operating in the US should see this as the highest court announcing they are not protected by basic law, they are not protected by the basic guarantees of the foundational US law and are subject to whatever whims the current congress or president wants to impose. Mighty nice business environment you have there, if it wasn't an important market companies would flee at this but sadly it is an important market but it should give companies pause and hopefully encourage foreign entities to take steps to reduce their exposure. It also exposes of course to tens of millions of Americans the nature of their government, of the censorship and control that liberalism pretends isn't there. It exposes a third of the country to the fact that their free speech loving government is hypocritical. Most will brush it off and go back to Zuckerberg treats, but some amount will not. Some amount will have their faith further eroded and some will even begin to experience class consciousness.
Oral arguments are often hilariously a game of charades. We all know that the justices have a bias that they are going to lean into 99% of the time, arguments are just for roasting the lawyers and seeing how they play as people if they were to ever join you on the bench. Rarely does oral argument even make it to the actual opinion, which are mostly written by the clerks.
