Free Speech, TikTok (and Bills of Attainder!), with Prof. Alan Rozenshtein | Free Speech Unmuted

Can Congress require China-based ByteDance to divest itself of TikTok as a condition for TikTok continuing to be easily accessible in the US? Alan Rozenshtein, Jane Bambauer, and Eugene Volokh discuss whether the law is consistent with the First Amendment - and with the much more rarely talked about Bill of Attainder Clause.
