TikTok Ban: A First Amendment Showdown

The ACLU argues that a law effectively banning TikTok in the US violates the First Amendment. The law grants the president sweeping power to shut down communication platforms under the guise of national security, without sufficient evidence of imminent harm. The ACLU contends the government cannot ban speech it dislikes without a high bar of evidence, and that the ban sets a dangerous precedent for future restrictions on online speech. They urge the Supreme Court to intervene and protect Americans' right to free expression and access to information.
