TikTok

District Judge Carl Nichols has issued a temporary injunction at the request of TikTok.

Beijing tightened control over technology exports last month to gain leverage over Washington’s bid to force a sale of TikTok to US owners.

Until July 1, when rumours of a ban first began to circulate, TikTok was adding some 424,000 new US users each day.

It is proposed that nine social media firms speedily identify violent, graphic content, including suicide, and swiftly notify the others.

A day earlier, he said he had given his blessing to Oracle and Walmart to make a deal with ByteDance for TikTok, but the terms were unclear.

Oracle will host all US user data and manage security, while Walmart will supply its online sales, order management and payment services.

Although young users, who make up TikTok’sprimary base, don’t seem to have paid attention to the upcoming ban, the above-20s have reacted.

Some Republicans raise concerns that ByteDance would maintain access to information on the 100 million TikTok users in the US.

YouTube Shorts videos are limited to 15 seconds, according to the Google-owned platform used by some 2 billion people worldwide.

The bid would be handled by a government panel that reviews foreign transactions for national security concerns.

“So, we’ll either close up TikTok in this country for security reasons, or it’ll be sold,” Trump said, refusing to extend the deadline.

The music distribution company also filed a lawsuit against short-video app Roposo over copyright infringement.

“Well, I told them that they have until September 15th to make a deal; after that, we close it up in this country,” the US President said.

First the government took out TikTok, now it has shot down PUBG.

China’s commerce ministry published new rules Friday that added “civilian use” to a list of technologies that are restricted for export.

Among other things, Walmart could use TikTok to promote sellers from its online marketplace, which it’s trying to develop to rival Amazon.

Already business partners, Microsoft provides cloud computing services that help run the retailer’s stores and online shopping.

“The ‘victims’ trend on TikTok can be hurtful & offensive,” the Auschwitz Memorial said on Twitter.

In a letter to employees, Kevin Mayer said that his decision to leave comes after the “political environment has sharply changed.”

Due process not followed as US government tried to insert itself into negotiations between private businesses, ByteDance said.
