I read an article the other day that argued that TikTok should not be banned on the basis of free speech. The argument is, while American's have the freedom to say whatever the hell we want, we have an arguably even more freedom when it comes to what we consume, with only very select content (CSAM for example) being illegal to consume.

Yes there might be targeted misinformation there, but it's up to individual Americans to decide if they want to consume that content, government should not be in the business of curating content.

The government should be concerned about protecting its citizens, as well as its political and economic environment. If a product is unsafe, it should be regulated; if the producer does not comply, it should be banned.
