EFF statement on U.S. Supreme Court's decision to uphold TikTok ban (eff.org)
We are deeply disappointed that the Court failed to require the strict First Amendment scrutiny required in a case like this, which would’ve led to the inescapable conclusion that the government's desire to prevent potential future harm had to be rejected as infringing millions of Americans’ constitutionally protected free speech.

Banning TikTok Is Unconstitutional. The Supreme Court Must Step In (aclu.org)
Last week, the Supreme Court heard arguments in one of the most important First Amendment cases of our time: TikTok v. Garland. Brought by TikTok and its users, the suit challenges a law passed last Congress that will functionally ban the platform in the U.S.starting January 19. If upheld, the law won’t just impact the more than 170 million Americans who use TikTok, it will also endanger the constitutional rights of every American to speak and receive information online.
