What about ByteDance’s freedom of expression?
- LunaSea 3y agoThey are owned by a Chinese company and thus have no rights
- Manuel_D 3y agoWhat about Meta's freedom of expression in China? This is the foundation of reciprocal trade agreements: We don't put tariffs on your cars if you don't put tariffs on ours. We don't ban your social media companies if you don't ban ours.
- whats_a_quasar 3y agoByteDance is a Chinese corporation. The US federal government does not govern it and has no responsibility to allow a Chinese corporation to express itself in the US by publishing propaganda.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoUS freedom of expression applies only to US residents not to foreign govt controlled companies lol. And that is good.
- z_ 3y agoDoes the Citizens United ruling have a say?
- Manuel_D 3y agoNo. Citizens United covered PAC donations. Nowhere did it rule that the government cannot restrict foreign social media companies.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoNope, go read it. Once again, the first amendment applies only to US entities. Unless China is part of the US, I don't see how CCP/Bytedance can get First Amendment protection.
