US Senators Markey, Paul urge Supreme Court to overturn TikTok ban law

( December 27, 2024, 20:27 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Senators Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts and Rand Paul of Kentucky along with Representative Ro Khanna of California urged the US Supreme Court to reverse the decision by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to allow the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act to go into effect because it "has no legitimate historical parallel," they wrote. "Upholding the Act against TikTok’s and the content creators’ First Amendment challenges would create a dangerous precedent for subverting individual liberty. Social media has become one of the most important fora for speech about political and social issues," they wrote. "Content creators have flocked to these platforms on the promise of their ability to express their viewpoints. There is nothing speculative or contingent about the way that a ban would interfere with all that existing speech and chill future speech."See attached document....
