> I contest otherwise. Even if that is the case, how does that prevent the govt from acting correctly or morally?
The govt already acts profoundly immorally. Social security is unconstitutional! My view of the government is that it exists to enrich itself, regardless of morals. While this legislation is narrowly worded, which I appreciate, it still goes so far as to prohibit a voluntary transaction. To me that is immoral.
> Not all Americans. Americans want to ban TikTok.
The Americans that want to ban TikTok aren't trying to ban it because they don't like the content. If that was the case, they could simply not use it. Instead they want to ban it because they don't like others using it, and that is categorically different.
> Democracy
I do understood how democracy works, especially federalism. This does fall under the purview of the commerce clause as it has often been interpreted by the Supreme Court, so I fully expect it to withstand legal challenges. I just think it's bad policy and hypothesize the precedent is what's needed to push for more and more.
Thank you for your response. We disagree, and that's okay.
