If we’re still talking about TikTok here, the concern is that they don’t have the right to free speech — that the rights on their platform is coopted by a government power.

This simply isn't an issue regarding the first-amendment; not sure this thread needs to go into the philosophical dilemma on this here.

Correct, it is an issue regarding the lack of Chinese speech rights. The US constitution is irrelevant in China.

Human rights, however, are natural rights.

I'm not still talking about TikTok. I support banning Chinese social networks or any network where China has censorship power (either explicit or through back doors).

I was responding narrowly about the idea that "free speech" demands that the US govt can force companies to choose what to publish.

Forcing a company to stop operating here is an entirely different concept.
