I listened to the entirety of the oral arguments from a TikTok livestream. ‘Covertness’ was one of the big factors, where the government argued they were worried about China manipulating the algorithm without telling you. Propaganda is and should always be legal, and they’re banning it because it could “manipulate” people, not because the content violates the law.

TikTok has a US portion and does not violate any laws..
