关乎 TikTok 生死时刻的 2.5 小时辩论。 1 月 10 日，TikTok 与美国司法部在联邦最高法院，就 TikTok "不卖就禁" 法案是否违反美国宪法第一修 正案完成长达 2.5 小时的辩论。 局面对 TikTok 并不乐观。期间，多名大法官表示理解 TikTok 造成的国家安全风险。这意味着哪怕 TikTok 被认定拥有第一修正案保护的言论自由权利，法案也禁得住合宪性审查。 TikTok 美国业务由一家美国公司运营，它拥有第一修正案保护的言论自由权利，并通过选择推荐算 施行这一权利。法案影响 TikTok 用字节的算法，因此侵犯言论自由。 "不卖就禁" 法案限制特定言论，应该触发旨在保护言论自由的 "严格审查"。 美国司法部的主张则继续落在 "不卖就禁" 法案立法目的不是控制言论，而是限制外国敌手 "秘密操控内 容"、滥用数据。同时也承认没什么证据表明 TikTok 已经这么做了。 最高法院可能在本周给出判决结果，它能暂缓 TikTok 危机的方式有宣布法案因违宪而无效，或者颁布 紧急禁令中止法案生效。同时，TikTok 用户正转移至字节旗下另一应用 Lemon8，这一动作被解读为字 节面对 ...
