Kagan: “Why isn't this Congress acting with respect to ByteDance in saying ByteDance has to divest” and then TikTok can go do what it wants with what's available on the market? Creators' lawyer says BUT WE WANT TO USE TIKTOK BC OF BYTEDANCE'S ALGO! Kagan ain't having it.

Alito, the Court's least speech-protective justice, doesn't care if this is about speech bc he - er, a hypothetical Congress - believes TikTok is the “worst offender” for “gathering an arsenal information about American citizens” by a foreign entity.

Barrett wants to know if the algorithm is the speech here. Subtext: she's relitigating what was at issue in last term's content moderation cases - and whether algorithms are protected under the 1st Amendment. But then says ByteDance is pushing covert content manipulation algos.

Gorsuch wants to talk FACTS. Does TikTok US actually have control over its algo and recommendation engine? Can divestiture feasibly happen on any timeline? Has ByteDance followed PRC commands for covert content manipulation? Gorsuch not tipping hand, but seems hostile to TikTok.

(As an aside about Sotomayor and Kavanaugh's questions: Sotomayor was asking about what 1A tier of scrutiny SCOTUS should apply. Kavanaugh wants to get rid of tiers of scrutiny and apply his history and tradition test from 2A to 1A. But both will reach same result in this case.)

Sotomayor tries to reorient back towards TikTok's 1A rights...only to suggest the ban doesn't violate the 1A.
