The Right to Access Foreign Communicative Infrastructure

Foreign social media platforms are unique associational and speech infrastructures that should be treated differently from other foreign infrastructure, challenging the Supreme Court's view of these platforms in TikTok Inc. v. Garland. In a piece for the Knight First Amendment Institute, Affiliate Chinmayi Arun explores the challenges foreign social media platforms pose to US governance schemas. "Because non-US apps are shaped by foreign political, cultural, and economic forces, they create an environment for online engagement that American companies cannot create. They offer Americans what American companies have offered other publics in other countries for years: new ways to engage with ideas, with each other, and with people across borders."
