Srinivasan acknowledged the magnitude of the potential TikTok ban in a concurring opinion, as Reuters reported, writing: “170 million Americans use TikTok to create and view all forms of free expression and to engage with each other and the world. And yet, partly because of the platform’s broad reach, Congress and several presidents have decided that removing it from (China’s) control is essential to protecting our national security. Because the record indicates that the decision was deliberated by Congress, was consistent with long-standing regulatory practice, and did not have an institutional goal to suppress particular messages or ideas, we are unable to overturn it.”
