Wouldn't the US government banning tiktok be unconstitutional?[1] I'm genuinely asking.
What kind of forum would tiktok be categorized as?[2] Nonpublic forum? In which case, it's legal for the government to ban it?
"in a nonpublic forum, the Government may restrict contents of a speech, as long as the restriction is reasonable and the restriction does not discriminate based on speakers’ viewpoints."
