The Supreme Court case TikTok Inc. et al. v. Garland addresses the constitutionality of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which restricts TikTok's operation in the U.S. due to national security concerns about its Chinese ownership. The majority opinion affirms the lower court's decision, finding the Act's restrictions to be content-neutral and narrowly tailored to address the compelling government interest of preventing data collection by a foreign adversary. A concurring opinion agrees with the outcome but emphasizes the Act's clear implication of First Amendment rights. Another concurrence expresses reservations about the "content-neutral" designation and the use of classified evidence, while ultimately concluding the Act is not unconstitutional.
