IDK, I'm old school so I think the government shouldn't restrict free speech even when it really doesn't like what said free speech allows.

  it should protect its companies when a foreign country is ripping them off globally no?

  this is less a free speech issue than a security issue

    Free speech is usually banned as being "too dangerous" but who gets to decide that and based on what criteria?

      This question is tired. Of course it will be the one "in charge" that decide that. Why is that even a question? I see it posed like it is a thinking exercise on what people might like/dislike or whatever, when it will so obviously be the dictator/totalitarian that has become the leadership that will start banning speech. What type of speech getting banned will be obvious as well as it will be anything that questions or goes against those in charge.

      I don't see TikTok as a theater with people screaming "fire!" The government however could fit that description.

    Then enact broader policy that addresses privacy and security. The government shouldn't pick and choose winners and losers because it doesn't like how they operate. It should establish the rules for every company to abide by.

Maybe a reciprocity rule is what we need: ban foreign companies from operating in the US whenever an equivalent US company wouldn't be allowed to do the exact same thing in the foreign country.

  yes exactly, never understood why we allowed this to happen look at how strict they are with even simple business trying to open in China you basically have to give them all your proprietary info before they allow you to partly own your own business in China.. You can't even invest into Chinese stocks... they play by their own rules to benefit them self's and we allow them to do so
