TikTok Ban Upheld By SCOTUS– Is TCR Next?
Friday, January 17, 2025

So the US Supreme Court today upheld a law requiring that abysmal TikTok app to either by sold or face a nationwide ban.

The basis for the law is TikTok’s foreign ownership and the massive amount of data available to the Chinese government as a result.

I’m a huge fan of the ban, but mostly because I’m a geezer that thinks kids these days spend too much time staring at their phones.

Still, the national security concerns are very legitimate and resonate well beyond TikTok– for instance The Campaign Registry is still tracking most every 10DLC SMS campaign in the country and is still foreign owned.

I suspect new FCC Chairman Carr–with his focus on national security– and Olivia Trusty (Trump’s new FCC pic) will take a very dim view of TCR’s foreign ownership and I suspect a similar sale or ban ruling may be in the cards.

We’ll see.
