Summary

Donald Trump submitted a Supreme Court filing opposing a TikTok ban, citing his “dealmaking expertise” and promising to resolve national security concerns.

The brief advocates delaying the case to allow Trump to address it politically.

Legal experts criticized the filing for being overly self-promotional and unprecedented, with some mistaking it for satire.

Critics noted its unusual tone and highlighted the involvement of Trump’s potential solicitor general pick, D. John Sauer, in drafting the document.

The case concerns TikTok’s alleged violations of privacy laws and ties to China.

It's a two-tiered system because there are literally two tiers. There's one where people can use TikTok outside China and one where people can use Douyin inside China. And content only goes one way. I'm not sure how more clear this can be made to you.

Also, stop making this about you. It isn't about you. I never made any claims about you apart from you making poor excuses for a two-tiered system. And I stand by that claim.

I'm not making anything about me I'm just responding to this general skepticism about the intention of my statements. If I read your comment incorrectly then I'm sorry. I'm also not in the business of acting like this is a discussion that matters to anyone beyond you and me, this isn't groundbreaking political commentary that people are anxiously watching play out. Acknowledging the fact that we've spoken many times before is I think worthwhile within that context.

Tiers implies one is above the other somehow. But they aren't they're two distinct systems. I'm going to loop back to what I initially commented about which was the app itself and how it doesn't function the way the commenter I responded to described it. Why would someone lie about how an app functions? Why specifically douyin, why specifically a Chinese social media app? It's worth examining that decision and the ideas that it fosters about China.

I have said nothing about your intentions. I have no idea why you are suggesting I am. I told you what I said about you and I still stand by it. You are poorly defending a two-tiered system.

Why you are defending it is not something I care to speculate on.

And one is above the other if content only goes one way. Because only one group can see content from both platforms. The other can't. This is some basic logic...
