Paul sank a bill that would ban TikTok nationwide
On Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul came out in opposition to a bipartisan effort to ban TikTok, condemning Republicans and Democrats for a move he said could chill First Amendment-protected speech.
“I hope saner minds will reflect on which is more dangerous: videos of teenagers dancing, or the precedent of the US government banning speech,” Paul said on the Senate floor Wednesday. Paul’s remarks followed an attempt by Sen. Josh Hawley to ban TikTok nationwide on the Senate floor Wednesday. Earlier this year, Hawley, a long-time China hawk, introduced the No TikTok on United States Devices Act, a bill that would direct the president to ban use of the app on US devices, including those belonging to consumers.
“I hope saner minds will reflect on which is more dangerous: videos of teenagers dancing, or the precedent of the US government banning speechHawley attempted to pass it through unanimous request Wednesday. Paul objected and the motion failed. But Hawley’s bill is only one of the measures Congress has already introduced to ban TikTok. In March, Sen.
“I can be darn sure that there is no special First Amendment carve-out for communists,” Hawley said, responding to Paul’s objections Wednesday. “Now the First Amendment may protect dance videos. Sure, upload those all you want. But the First Amendment does not protect the right to spy on American citizens.”
