And now Lee is trying to draw a connection to Section 230 by suggesting it’s hypocritical for Google to deplatform The Federalist over racist comment sections when it wants to claim liability protections for the content its own users post on Google properties. — PolitiTweet.org

And after all that, Lee’s first question out the gate is about… anticonservative bias, arguing that Google’s “censorship of its own platform” isn’t an antitrust violation but still evidence of “market power.” — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Lee opens today’s Google antitrust hearing by raising anticonservative bias, but argues antitrust is not the right tool for it. “Just as I reject demands to use antitrust for social justice, I also emphatically reject using antitrust to solve other non-antitrust concerns." — PolitiTweet.org

Now, just days later, the government has reversed course, saying there’s no need for a temporary restraining order because what the employee was worried about won’t actually be a thing. https://t.co/O7PURgEtvB — PolitiTweet.org

On Saturday, DOJ filed a 16-page document in that case explaining why Judge Vince Chhabria shouldn’t issue a temporary restraining order blocking parts of Trump’s ban from going into effect. The employee’s case rests on speculation about how the ban will work, DOJ said. — PolitiTweet.org

Conceivably, this could have resulted in any number of things being considered illegal: Downloading or opening the app, hosting it on an app store, or as a TikTok employee feared, receiving a salary: https://t.co/pe8LsbBmT2 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s Aug. 6 executive order outlining the ban has been met with confusion because it does not explain what Americans must do to comply with the order. It just says it’ll ban “transactions” with TikTok and leaves it to Commerce to define what that means later. — PolitiTweet.org

The clarification comes in the form of a court filing, in a wider case challenging the consitutionality of the TikTok executive order. https://t.co/1ksnjZ0eXB — PolitiTweet.org

Big: The US government has provided the first details of how Trump’s TikTok ban will be implemented. In a court filing, Commerce makes clear TikTok employees will not be barred from recieving wages or benefits, nor will they be considered in violation for doing their day jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s much we still don’t know about Trump’s looming ban, however, including whether this deal will successfully avert it. Trump’s Aug. 6 executive order leaves it to the Commerce Dept. to define what transactions will be prohibited under the ban — but after it takes effect. — PolitiTweet.org

Oracle and TikTok have reached a partnership agreement aimed at addressing the Trump administration's national security claims, a person familiar with the matter tells me. The exact nature of the deal still isn’t clear, but it comes days before Trump’s deadline banning TikTok. — PolitiTweet.org
