  Fascinating stuff. If there was a moment for SCOTUS to show that principles mean something, that was now, because it was easy and would have cost next to nothing. Now all bets are off, because the old guard likely managed to galvanize portion of the US user base by showing it what US truly values. edit:

  Edit: To the downvotes. US espouses freedom of speech, but fails to live up to it. Tell me what TikTok is doing that Meta, MS and others are NOT doing.
