> Even the ACLU seemed to be both against and for a Tiktok ban in recent tweets: “Banning an app like TikTok, which millions of Americans use to communicate with each other, is a danger to free expression and technologically impractical.” But the prevented free expression on Tiktok, noted above, is a great danger too. And since when does the ACLU care about technological impracticability? > Another ACLU tweet: “To truly address privacy concerns with companies like TikTok, Congress must ensure that ANY company that services US consumers cannot hand over our data to any government without a warrant or equivalent. Letting the president selectively ban platforms isn’t the solution.” That tweet seems to be in favor of the ban and a process for banning other companies as well. Seems pretty clear what the ACLU stance is. Banning TikTok is a political move that curbs free speech and has nothing to do with protecting speech. This is because we have domestic apps that not only can, but are, doing the same thing (Instagram silently dropping kamalaharris.info messages for violating "Community Standards"). If we ban the techniques that curb free speech instead, seems more in line with the argument of protecting free speech.
