☆ How TikTok’s Chinese parent company will rely on an American right to keep the app alive
  + stars: | 2024-04-24 | by ( Hadas Gold | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
In recent months, the company has foreshowed it plans to challenge the law on First Amendment grounds. Krishnan said even the national security argument will not withstand legal scrutiny because the Chinese government could easily purchase the same data on Americans through the open market. TikTok’s looming legal challenge will be one of several that could eventually reach the US Supreme Court that could completely redefine online speech. Other high-profile cases that will determine whether social media companies can moderate content on their platforms are also likely to be decided this year. “The rules for online speech are being written by the Supreme Court this year,” Persily said.

☆ The TikTok divest-or-ban bill is a First Amendment disaster, but it may still stand up in court

Maybe…Earlier attempts to ban or force a sale of TikTok often haven't stood up in court. Other parties, like TikTok creators, may launch separate legal challenges in the coming weeks, as they have done in the past. AdvertisementTrump's 2020 order to ban TikTok was halted by a federal judge who said it likely exceeded executive authority. While the bill is framed around forcing US ownership of TikTok, it's likely to result in a ban, which strengthens the free-speech argument. Congress hasn't proven that an outright sale or ban of TikTok is the only way to protect national-security interests.

Read previewThe widely-popular social media app TikTok is once again facing a possible ban in the United States over concerns about its links to China. "It is targeted to address the national security threat that we believe these apps, like TikTok, pose to the United States because of its ownership by a foreign adversary." "The First Amendment protects Americans' right to access social media platforms of their choosing," Krishnan said. Former President Donald Trump in Tulsa, Okla.

☆ Texas TikTok Ban Challenged for Threatening ‘Academic Freedom’
  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Sapna Maheshwari | More About Sapna Maheshwari | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
“The Supreme Court has characterized academic freedom as a special concern of the First Amendment,” said Ramya Krishnan, a lawyer at the Knight First Amendment Institute. The lawsuit said that Jacqueline Vickery, an associate professor at the University of North Texas and a digital media scholar, had been forced to “suspend research projects and change her research agenda, alter her teaching methodology, and eliminate course material,” because of the ban. The Texas ban also appears to extend to her personal cellphone based on her use of university email and other apps there, the lawsuit said. Ms. Vickery said in an interview that she had not been able to access TikTok since the university returned from winter break, even for an assignment where she wanted her students to read the privacy terms on TikTok’s site. The ban’s effect on her classes and research has been “really challenging,” particularly as she does not have a personal laptop, she said.

☆ TikTok and Free Speech Groups Appear Poised for Legal Fight Over Montana Ban
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Sapna Maheshwari | David Mccabe | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Ms. Oberwetter also pointed to statements from civil and digital groups raising similar concerns. To justify a ban, Ms. Krishnan said, Montana would have to show that its privacy and security concerns were real and that they could not be addressed in narrower ways. “I don’t think TikTok has yet committed to suing, but I think it’s likely that it will,” Ms. Krishnan said. Montana’s law came after the federal government and more than two dozen states banned TikTok on government devices in recent months. TikTok says that it has never been asked to provide, nor has it provided, any U.S. user data to the Chinese government.
