drama, we watch, might be delicious bloomberg.com Trump Asks Supreme Court to Pause Law Threatening TikTok Ban - He says he wants time to seek a ‘negotiated resolution’ - Biden administration says Chinese control of app is threat By Greg Stohr 28 December 2024 at 05:44 GMT+8 Updated on 28 December 2024 at 09:53 GMT+8 President-elect Donald Trump thrust himself into the high-stakes fight over the fate of TikTok in the US by urging the Supreme Courtto pause a law that would ban the social media platform if it isn’t sold by its Chinese parent company. Trump said the court should give him time after his Jan. 20 inauguration to “seek a negotiated resolution” of the dispute. He didn’t take a firm position on the constitutionality of the law that’s set to take effect Jan. 19, though he said it raised “sweeping and troubling” free speech concerns. US President-elect Donald TrumpPhotographer: Allison Robbert/AFP/Bloomberg Trump told the justices that only he “possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns expressed by the government.” He didn’t give specifics about what kind of deal he would seek or say how long a delay he needed. The court is hearing the case on a highly expedited timeline, with arguments scheduled for a special session Jan. 10, little more than a week before the law is to take effect. The case pits company and user First Amendment rights against national security interests. ‘Breathing Space’Trump said a pause would provide “breathing space for the court to consider the questions on a more measured schedule.” His filing followed dueling written arguments submitted Friday by TikTok and President Joe Biden’s administration. The Biden-run Justice Department said Chinese control of TikTok poses “grave national-security threats.” The platform “harvests sensitive data about tens of millions of Americans and would be a potent tool for covert influence operations by a foreign adversary,” argued US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, the administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer. Meanwhile, TikTok told the justices that Congress failed to consider alternatives short of a ban. “History and precedent teach that, even when national security is at stake, speech bans must be Congress’s last resort,” the company argued. ‘Warm Spot’Trump once supported a TikTok ban, but he has spoken more favorably about the platform in recent days. He said this month he has a “warm spot” in his heart for TikTok because it helped sway young voters to his side in the November election. He met this month with TikTok Chief Executive Officer Shou Chew at his Mar-a-Lago club, one of a series of meetings with big tech executives. The US leader also spoke with the TikTok CEO Friday night after he had submitted the filing to the court, CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins said in a post on X, citing unidentified sources. During his first term, Trump said he was willing to let TikTok be sold to a US company — but expected the federal government would receive a portion of the overall sale price for helping to facilitate a deal. Should the law take effect, Trump’s stance could affect how it plays out in practice. The Justice Department is charged with enforcing the law and, as president, Trump would have power to approve any divestment proposal. His filing Friday suggested sympathy with the free speech arguments presented by the company and TikTok users. The law “may set a dangerous global precedent by exercising the extraordinary power to shut down an entire social-media platform based, in large part, on concerns about disfavored speech on that platform,” Trump said in a filing submitted by John Sauer, whom the president-elect has tapped to become his solicitor general. A federal appeals court in Washington upheld the law on a 3-0 vote this month, saying Congress and the president are entitled to a wide berth when they make national security determinations. The law is also being challenged by a group of content creators. The cases are TikTok v. Garland, 24-656, and Firebaugh v. Garland, 24-657.

Detecting much noise coming out of MAGA eco system from on-line and circle of 3D discourse… I appreciate, meaning understand, the PoV(s) of Bannon and Loomer and seems they are tapping into a gusher What the two do not seem to be cognizant of is that H1B or whatever however worked out or otherwise, the die is already cast, ramparts breached, keep wide opened, and resistance is not only futile but likely make transition to 2042 demographic-flip more complicated. 18 years is not that far away, especially given that must first navigate through 2026 TeoTwawKi and 2032 Darkest Interregnum. Reminds me of the complications depicted in Asimov’s Foundation book series, the unpredicted appearance of the Mule and all In Asia taking in immigrants is not a big thing as a thing. Sending out people is a thing, but not so much to another Asian domain. Let us watch and brief … but generally am doubtful that Bannon and Loomer shall enjoy the journey, neither good nor bad, feature nor bug, just is
