On one hand I’m actually happy if it does get upheld because TikTok is just brain rot on steroids. On the other hand it’s kinda silly to pretend US companies aren’t doing the same tracking China is doing albeit China does have more nefarious reasons for doing so “allegedly”. And does this matter with Trump? Not sure

My layperson reading was at least 6-3 and maybe even 8-1 with Gorsuch dissenting. Listening to oral arguments, it sounded like Gorsuch’s intuition was against the ban but that he was still working out his reasoning.

As someone who creates content on TikTok: I hope this ban goes through. The algorithm is simply too strong and creates horrible bubbles of toxicity. It’s simply way too easy to be radicalized on TikTok. And I know that the same can be said for all social media platforms, but I do have worse feelings on it when it’s coming from China.
