Does not sound legal nor within the Constitution/free speech. Hope we don’t go down a road like this.

This does not go against free speech if there’s government data on your device.

That's not how free speech is defined or works, legally.

Government institutions get to decide what goes on government devices.

The headline seems to describe the rest of the story. A bill was introduced to ban TikTok nationwide, and according to the article there is "increasing pressure" on the executive branch to introduce a nationwide ban.
