5. Freedom of using the platform of your choice is not the same as free speech.

Speech platform. I had speech before Tik Tok. I'll have freedom of speech after Tik Tok.

I had freedom of the press beforeTik Tok. I'll have freedom of the press after Tik Tok.

I don't tend to assemble on apps on my phone, but I had freedom to assemble beforeTik Tok. I'll have freedom to assemble after Tik Tok.


You don't get to assemble in my living room; I am not denying your right of assembly denying you access to it. Likewise, you don't get to assemble in the Skiff Room at the U.S. Capitol. Them denying you it's use is not an infringement on your first amendment rights.

No one is stifling anyone's speech.
