Re:House passes bill to force TikTok sale from Chinese owner... by strangattractor on Wednesday March 13, 2024 @02:37PM (#39695529)
The US Constitution guaranties US citizens rights not the general population of the Earth. Our government has no way to enforce or protect rights from entities outside of the US (other than force). If as you say it is just a "giant printing press" then ownership is irrelevant - change it and print away. If on the other hand the Chinese government has a vested interest in influencing what 136 million Americas consume as information - it will probably stay under a Chinese Government sphere of influence by order of the Party.

That's not quite true. The Constitution protects residents and arguably visitors.
