Free speech concerns on an app built by a nation where people have no rights that bans people for bringing up the Tiananmen Square massacre and Uyghur genocide,

  The unreal part is that your don’t understand free speech rights, ie that the users possess them. Are you claiming that ByteDance controlled the tanks used in Tiananmen square massacre or is conducting the Uyghur massacre? If so, the Trump administration screwed up by not presenting that evidence.

    The executive order bans the service, not the users. Users can speak freely in any forum that exists

      Can't the same logic be applied if Trump bans CNN? The news hosts will be free to speak in any other forum that exists.

      Just like seizing printing presses didn’t prevent journalists from speaking outside?

  A quick search on TikTok shows that neither of those topics are banned on the platform, and they're not even banned from its autocomplete functionality - start typing either of them and it'll suggest it for you.

  > no rights This is not true. > Uyghur genocide This is a lie being spread by far right fundamentalist Adrien Zenz that the U.S. media had eaten up.

    Are there any Uyghurs in China who dispute what's happening in China? Is the video fake?
