Hmmm......

Nice spin playing on the hacker ethos here.

Although information is in its name, it gets its full meaning from its suffix. MISinformation is the missing of information or the mis-leading of an audience by spinning purposefully false rhetoric and delivering arguments for a false narrativvve.

It is very closely related to propaganda, but with a different aim. The aim here is not to have someone look good but to destabelize and subvert.

So although it is containing information in its name, neither it nor propaganda can be labeled information.

Who would want to consume lies freely anyways?

Also, nice addendum of the first amendment btw., the right of US citizens to express their opinions is not being curtailed here. It is just a medium that is under scrutiny and, I might add, for a very very good reason.

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.
