The main win is banning a content recommendation algorithm that is influenced by the CCP. A secondary win is reducing consumption of short form content. A tertiary win is eliminating that God awful narrator voice.

There's no valid 1st amendment argument here. This doesn't ban American voices, that can continue to be shared on alternative platforms, it bans the CCP Government's propaganda inserting itself in American media consumption.
