Gunster's Tom Julin was recently featured on a segment with WFTV regarding the previously impending ban of TikTok in the U.S. due to national security concerns.
Julin highlighted the First Amendment issues related to the migration of users to alternative platforms like RedNote. Attempts to regulate speech on one platform often lead to the emergence of similar issues on other platforms, likening it to a "whack-a-mole" problem.

Tom Julin has litigated free speech issues of almost every type in Florida and around the country. He is dedicated to advocating the First Amendment rights of businesses. Most notably, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled favorably in Sorrell v. IMS Health Inc., 564 U.S. 552 (2011) on Tom’s argument that data mining for target marketing is protected against regulation that cannot survive heightened judicial scrutiny. That precedent-setting opinion, which resulted in the invalidation of three state laws, since has been cited in more than 1,000 judicial decisions in which companies have challenged laws and regulations restricting advertising, pharmaceutical sales, securities offerings, labor practices, Internet communications and more.
