   @mattontech Also pissing off already fuming young voters in the process.

   The thought of displacing millions of users and most likely for Meta/FB's benefit is unethical and unconsititional to boot.

   Also this sends a message that the US no longer cares about the open internet. https://www.techdirt.com/2024/04/19/the-us-banning-tiktok-would-play-right-into-chinas-hands-and-destroy-decades-of-us-work-on-promoting-an-open-internet/

     A reminder: a TikTok ban is still dumb, bad, and fundamentally aligned with pro-authoritarian, anti-free speech impulses.

     Also unlikely to survive the courts...so it's quite a circus.
