No. Citizens United covered PAC donations. Nowhere did it rule that the government cannot restrict foreign social media companies.


Nope, go read it. Once again, the first amendment applies only to US entities.

Unless China is part of the US, I don't see how CCP/Bytedance can get First Amendment protection.
