ByteDance is laying off India-based employees as the government shows no signs of lifting the ban imposed on its most popular apps TikTok and Helo last June.
ByteDance’s foray into education, under the brand name Dali, starts with a smart lamp that has a touch screen, camera and built-in voice assistant to help children with homework.
ByteDance is in discussions on a final proposal with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., or Cfius, the regulatory body that must clear any agreement.
Australia had in August ruled TikTok didn't pose serious national security concerns and opted against a ban, but a panel of lawmakers are examining possible political interference.
In its court filing, ByteDance said it has made extraordinary efforts to satisfy the government’s ever-shifting demands and a ban would cause plaintiffs irreparable harm.
The world’s most valuable startup plays down speculation it’s giving up control of valuable Chinese technology and assets after striking a deal with Oracle and Walmart.
Despite Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison’s backing for Trump, there’s no guarantee the separation of TikTok from ByteDance will be clean enough to pass White House muster.
Trump administration can order American companies like Google & Apple to stop carrying the app, but can't stop American teens from finding workarounds to access the website.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
