Several members of Congress, including Senators Markey and Paul and Representative Khanna, contend that the TikTok ban fails First Amendment scrutiny and is fundamentally illegitimate.
Lawmakers' justification for the TikTok ban—preventing content manipulation by the Chinese government—hides a desire to control TikTok content, which could be achieved via less restrictive methods.
Attorney General Merrick Garland defended the ban, urging the Supreme Court to assess whether a forced sale of TikTok complies with the First Amendment or not.
TikTok has requested the Supreme Court to invalidate the sections of the law that target it specifically, arguing Congress must clarify the justification for such restrictions.
