- yanderekko 4y agoWhy is it easier to use the commerce clause as a catch-all to ban app store distribution but not to just ban TikTok? Are there not similar rights concerns in play?
- falcolas 4y agoThe federal government would have to make an economic case for blocking or managing TikTok. I imagine they could make a national security argument, but that would be a lot harder. But I'm not a lawyer or politician, so that's just speculation on my part.
