Greene, who has previously been banned by Twitter, emphasized the importance of protecting free speech.

Why It Matters: The tweet comes amidst ongoing legislative efforts to ban TikTok in the U.S. due to concerns over data sharing with the Chinese government and potential propaganda dissemination. The U.S. is also expected to tighten its grip on economic interactions with China, signaling a strategic move to protect its national interests and maintain technological superiority.

Interestingly, former President Donald Trump, who had previously supported a TikTok ban, has recently expressed his opposition to the ban, arguing that it would benefit Meta Platforms.
