Kate Shaw: 最高法院一致裁定维持TikTok禁令,该决定具有重大影响,可能为未来政府在国家安全背景下处理言论自由问题提供更多自由裁量权。法院认为该法案是内容中立的,适用中等审查标准,驳回了关于TikTok披露与中国政府关系的替代方案。法院强调TikTok的数据收集行为,但避免将裁决建立在该法案仅适用于字节跳动的基础上。尽管法院强调其裁决的狭隘性,但它可能会对未来政府处理国家安全背景下的言论自由问题产生重大影响,可能允许政府使用内容中立的理由来掩盖基于内容的动机。法院的裁决实际上是维持了巡回法院的裁决,并没有做出实质性改变,并且在时间紧迫的情况下做出了草率的决定。 Leah Littman: 我对TikTok的消失感到悲伤,因为它不仅仅是一个舞蹈应用,它承载了更多内容和意义,例如对LGBTQ+社群的支持和分享。人们在TikTok上开玩笑地向他们的“中国间谍”发送信息,这表明他们意识到中国政府的监控。TikTok的消失也影响了我的生活,例如我通过TikTok了解Taylor Swift的巡演信息。 Melissa Murray: 最高法院的裁决意味着TikTok将在美国被禁,苹果和安卓等应用平台将无法再托管和服务TikTok。虽然TikTok应用不会立即从手机上消失,但由于无法更新,它很快就会变得无法使用。虽然法律并非直接针对用户,但我将告知我的孩子们TikTok被完全禁止了。
