“so then why did the uniparty pass the ban? and why did the USSC uphold it?”
Because it is not about TikTok. They knew all this fact before they even drafted the bill. It is about incrementally getting government control over the internet. They did the exact same thing with the Patriot Act. They used it to gain more control over the people.
We have to remember that governments true intentions and goals are NEVER what they say they are. Somewhere there is always a Trojan Horse in the language of the bill that screws the people and hands them even more power over the people.
I’m glad your saying these things as well. Actually, there’s more skeptical than I thought.
That ruling was awful
so the pretext was protecting us from bad info. but the real reason is that the uniparty is afraid of the people getting to close to the evil truth about them. so naturally for them too much freedom of speech is a threat to their power and therefore must be limited. makes perfect sense.
but the unanimous court including Thomas and Alito. that’s not so clear to me. why would Thomas go along with it. he certainly is not afraid of the people and their rights to know the truth in the Constitution.
