The obvious Constitutional defects of the TikTok legislation won’t stop it from being passed, so we’ll have to rely on the Supreme Court to throw it out. From Senator Rand Paul at reason.com:
Banning companies for doing business with China is a bad path to start down.

The censors who abound in Congress will likely vote to ban TikTok or force a change in ownership. It will likely soon be law. I think the Supreme Court will ultimately rule it unconstitutional, because it would violate the First Amendment rights of over 100 million Americans who use TikTok to express themselves.
In addition, I believe the Court will rule that the forced sale violates the Fifth Amendment. Under the Constitution, the government cannot take your property without accusing and convicting you of a crime—in short, without due process. Since Americans are part of TikTok’s ownership, they will eventually get their day in court.
The Court could also conclude that naming and forcing the sale of a specific company amounts to a bill of attainder, legislation that targets a single entity.
These are three significant constitutional arguments against Congress’ forced sale/ban legislation. In fact, three different federal courts have already invalidated legislative and executive attempts to ban TikTok.
The crime is too much truth as there are youngsters on there with wisdom beyond their years regarding what is going on in the world and uncensored videos of war zones and bravo sierra media hype gaslight exposed.
You’ll really see some riots if the Apple fanbois/girls can’t get the latest iButtplug or iMaxipad.
This burning it all down is kind of fun and most Romans were laughing and wildly entertained, they would really LOL at our almost 250 years compared to their reign.
The great Jello Biafra ex-singer of the Dead Kennedys has the ban everything riff on a spoken word album, it is the only way to please all the Karens of both sexes.
