Well, the TikTok lawyers kinda said the quiet part out loud during their SCOTUS brief:
It's not a great look for your app when your argument before the Supreme Court is "yeah, we're a propaganda machine for a hostile foreign power, but free speech says you can't stop us. Neener neener."
They are assholes, sure... but are they wrong?
that’s not what they’re saying, they’re saying even if they were chinese propaganda, it would be protected under the first amendment for americans to read what they want and make their own decisions….
but, nice 4th grader logic you got there.
See, "I'm not gonna smack you across the face, but I totally could if I wanted to and you can't do shit about it" might not be the best way to clear your reputation as a bully.
unrelated but ok
