TikTok's Defense Against Ban - Free Speech Issue
TikTok's defense strategy against potential ban revolves around framing the action as a free speech issue. By highlighting the Chinese Communist Party's control over the company, TikTok argues that divesting to an American company is impossible due to Chinese restrictions.
