I hear people calling the so-called "TikTok ban bill" authoritarian. Guys. You don't have a right to use someone else's computer. That's not speech. The only right an individual has on the Internet is to see up your own, private server, hosting a website, and publishing non-illegal things on it. That's the *full extent of online rights to speech.*
YT, FB, IG, TikTok? Companies cannot declare they are "free speech" platforms and therefore become impervious to all regulation and consequences.
