Chemerinsky: SCOTUS failed to address whether Chinese access to TikTok data is real national security threat
Briefly

from ABA Journal1 week ago
The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a federal law banning TikTok, illustrating the tension between national security concerns and freedom of speech in America. This ruling comes after President Biden enacted legislation targeting foreign-affiliated applications, particularly naming China as a threat. This act prohibits operations of applications like TikTok unless ownership changes hands. With TikTok ceasing operations temporarily following the court's decision and uncertain future regarding ownership, millions of users face restrictions on their digital communication and expression.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on a TikTok ban highlights a trend of judicial deference to national security claims, restricting speech for over 170 million users.

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, signed by President Biden, identifies China and others as adversaries, further criminalizing TikTok's existence.
