“Three of those former department heads …said that after taking their positions, they learned they would be expected to follow direction from the Beijing office of TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance.” https://t.co/zL5KceAb1X — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: While #TikTok portrays itself to U.S. officials as independent, interviews with former TikTok leaders show something very different: “Folks are hired in leadership positions in the U.S. and then their scope is reduced in favor of folks in Beijing” https://t.co/zL5KcezDcp — PolitiTweet.org

@yashar From Iran to Cuba to Afghanistan, the U.S. should expand the capacity of enterprises to support (1) new Internet connections that are independent of those controlled by oppressive regimes, and (2) circumvention tools that can help people evade filters that block access to apps. — PolitiTweet.org

The same Pew research shows that more Americans prefer to get news on a digital device (like their smartphone) than on TV, radio, or in print combined. https://t.co/MsAdqMx3hi — PolitiTweet.org

While #TikTok tells U.S. lawmakers that it’s “just an entertainment site,” new data show something else: The proportion of TikTok’s users who regularly get news there has spiked to 33%. Indeed, it’s the only site that saw a significant increase in its % of users getting news. https://t.co/N3WPDhODSY — PolitiTweet.org

Simply shouting “Tornillo” in talismanic fashion without addressing the courts’ reasoning in those types of cases, key factual and doctrinal differences, and what those distinctions may mean in the context Big Tech’s operations is not a reasoned way of approaching these issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Several key factors distinguish Tornillo from cases like this CA5 one that allow some check on excluding speech—e.g., whether the requirements are triggered by the content of your own speech; regulate what you can say in your own voice; force you to reply; … — PolitiTweet.org

And this line of cases is distinct from the inapt set of newspaper type cases like Tornillo that Big Tech companies have put forward in an effort to block antidiscrimination laws like Texas’ HB 20 and Florida’s social media law. — PolitiTweet.org

There is a long line of First Amendment cases that recognize the lawful regulation of a company’s decision to censor others when that company is operating in the main as a conduit for other peoples’ speech. — PolitiTweet.org

The court correctly rejects Big Tech’s claim to muzzle other peoples’ political speech without any check, turning aside what it called an ‘attempt to extract a freewheeling censorship right from the Constitution’s free speech guarantee.’ This is a significant, pro-speech win. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech claims that legislatures can impose no limits on their decisions to censor other peoples’ political speech. And they’ve acted on that view in a way that has impoverished debate on matters of public concern. The Fifth Circuit rightly rejects that sweeping assertion. https://t.co/ZppgG7xSAO — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Oldham draws on the longstanding distinction between entities, like the Big Tech companies here, that operate mainly as conduits for the speech of others and, on the other hand, a newspaper that primarily carries the newspaper's own speech. Big First Amendment difference. — PolitiTweet.org
