Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@LegalAFMTN?sub_confirmation=1 Legal AF’s Ray Brescia talks with Anupam Chander, a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, about one of the most consequential tech policy debates of our time: the pending sale of TikTok, and the Trump Administration’s defiance of Congress and the Supreme Court regarding the law passed by Congress and signed by President Biden that required that the sale take place roughly one year ago. But this debate does not just touch upon the fate of this digital platform. It also speaks to the willingness of Congress to allow the Trump Administration to defy the law and that Administration’s creeping control over media as it angles to bring the platform under the control of one of its cronies, Larry Ellison. Chander explains how we got here and unpacks the legal arguments, the national security and free speech implications, and what this case means for the future of digital platforms.

Send Marshals after Felon #45 and put him in a cell shackled and let him think about what brought him there. Make sure he only eats prison food and NO MCDONALD"S delivery no matter how much $$ he offers!

The only defense against power that refuses any limits is to refuse to obey.
