>Also, the law that tramples free speech

I'm not sure how so many people misunderstand the difference between "free speech" and "app controlled by hostile foreign government".

The people speaking on TikTok have not lost their right to free speech, they still are free to use a multitude of other channels that amplify their speech. No speech was blocked, only the app controlled by a hostile foreign government was blocked, and there are no provisions in a any legal framework that says we can't stop a hostile foreign government from controlling what people in this country see.
