   A previously classified transcript shows Congress knew U.S. TikTok users engage in constitutionally protected speech, but it banned the platform anyway, EFF Legal Fellow @BrendanGilligan writes for @Salon. It should’ve passed a data privacy law instead. https://www.salon.com/2024/10/03/congress-knew-banning-tiktok-was-a-first-amendment-problem-it-did-so-anyway/

     @eff @BrendanGilligan @Salon

     Absolutely laughable argument. You quite literally do not have a First Amendment right to specifically *use* Tiktok, which is undeniably a #propaganda tool for the #ethnofascist #Chinese government.

     @eff @BrendanGilligan @Salon this is a silly article that is just propaganda.
     Fuck: cooperations shouldn’t be people.
     Fuck: propaganda outlets aren’t protected by any amendment, especially not the first.
     Fuck: banning a company due to national security risks isn’t violating anyone’s free speech: at all!
     Fuck: what the fuck is this shit 💩?
     Fuck: I’m engaging with this 💩. Fuck attention based economics. I got off other social media to get away from this shit.💩
