Economic Divide: US TikTok ban

The United States claims to champion free speech and expression as pillars of democracy, yet the proposed TikTok ban raises questions about selective restrictions.

The United States says the hallmarks of a democracy include free speech and free expression. That is enshrined in the country's constitution. But if that is now up for restrictions and exemptions based on whom it impacts, then its notion of democracy is flawed.

And if it undermines not only democracy but Americans themselves: then that should be stopped. But not in the case where the Israeli regime is involved. That is the story of the TikTok ban in the US.
