At ACC we are champions of free speech. We believe that it is absolutely vital to a free society. There is almost no room for nuance here. There is the “fire in a crowded theater” exception, but short of that there are very few examples where the government has any right to restrict speech. This is one of the reasons what was revealed in The Twitter Files was so important. The government (under Biden) appears to have pressured social media companies via various means to restrict the speech of its users. This is as far as we can understand a clear violation of the Constitution. Frankly, the people who carried out the censorship should be held accountable legally.
But what of a ban on TikTok? Is this not a government sponsored effort to limit the speech of Americans?
Additionally is it possible that such a ban has been initiated because crony interests want to get their hands on the platform?
