They will probably stop the ban sadly.

between the national security conservatives and the free market conservatives, I'm not a lawyer, but from the ones I'm tracking this is a tossup.

 

then again, all of them ruling for the ban to be affirmed wouldn't surprise me either

Also haven't seen any proof behind claims from a lot of progressives that the impetus for this law only happened because of a change in their Palestine algorithm. 

 

I don't doubt it for a second but I doubt we'll ever get the research behind it if it is true.

Anyone wishing for this ban has some explaining to do. TikTok, despite its addictive nature, is a secondary income for millions of average American citizens and contributed $24 billion+ to the GDP in 2023 alone. Over 7 million small to medium sized businesses would lose billions in combined revenue if they banned TikTok. Not to mention the violation of our first amendment rights. They want the app banned because it's a new source the gov can't control and allows millions of ppl around the world to assemble around a common cause. You have to be completely unaware of what TikTok is to be wishing for a ban.

They will do whatever Trump says, so it's not getting banned.

Yeah, good point about its impact on the economy. You should consider this, @Vermillion , I mean, if you're thinking whether the ban will happen or not.

 

For example, they tried to ban Instagram in Turkiye, but had to reverse the decision because it's so important to small businesses there.

I make money on tiktok now so... godwilling those corrupt Trump loving appointed judges will do right by the American people for once.
