![]() ![]() From CBS News, "Supreme Court upholds TikTok ban, clears way for app to shut down in U.S. as soon as Sunday": The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a new law that would lead to a ban of the social media platform TikTok, clearing the way for the widely popular app to shutter in the U.S. as soon as Sunday.The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act gives the President the power to ban any app with "more than 1,000,000 monthly active users" that is "controlled by a foreign adversary" and "is determined by the President to present a significant threat to the national security of the United States." Despite this bill having massive implications for free speech, every last Supreme Court justice fell in line and backed the ban in the name of "national security." Despite US "national security" being cited as the justification for the ban, the actual impetus for the ban was not American national security but rather protecting the foreign state of Israel from criticism.
It was the ADL and other Jewish groups that lobbied Congress to ban TikTok because pro-Palestine content was outperforming pro-Israel content on the platform in the wake of October 7th. ![]() Nonetheless, the actual motivation for the bill wasn't even mentioned in the Supreme Court's ruling!
