Dangerous Dancing?: TikTok, National Security, and the First Amendment

TikTok, the massively popular social media app, has come under fire because it is owned by a company headquartered in Beijing. Some call it a “Trojan Horse,” arguing that it is simultaneously a spying and propaganda machine. Defenders observe that TikTok is an enormous speech platform and that the U.S. should not be in the business of banning speech apps. When might economic sanctions run afoul of the First Amendment? The Institute for Rebooting Social Media welcomes a panel of leading experts to consider First Amendment challenges to any TikTok divest-or-ban order.
