I'm not really spinning anything. This is likely the defense TikTok will be using in court. The 1st amendment covers the right to receive information, and it's funny you bring up propaganda because it has even been ruled it covers the right to receive foreign propaganda:

There should be some kind of reciprocity though. If Idaho didn’t allow drivers holding California drivers license to drive in Idaho, I’m sure California will swiftly ban drivers with Idaho licenses in California as well.

If U.S. companies can’t operate in China PR, China PR companies should not have any expectation of unfettered access to U.S. markets.

Also, corporations are NOT people, no matter what SCOTUS says.

We can't reciprocate, because Americans have rights that the Chinese don't have. By reciprocating we weaken our rights.
