A state controlled data harvesting and algorithm propaganda machine is not the equivalent of a private market app.

You could easily even argue this doesn’t come under any first amendments rights because it’s obvious TikTok is an adversarial foreign government controlled entity.

No it's not, and even if it was, if corporations have free speech then why should being owned by an adversarial foreign government change that?

It looks like you're writing that you don't understand why adversaries and friendlies/neutrals should be treated differently.

If you can confirm that's the issue you're not understanding I can put together some examples of the typical/possible consequences of treating enemies like neutrals/friendlies.

Please let me know if that would help you.

No, what I don't understand is why foreign governments should be treated as more adversarial than domestic corporations.
