A lawyer for TikTok argued at a hearing last month that it 'makes no sense' for the govt to ban the app while ByteDance is still in talks for the deal President Trump has sought.
TikTok has a sizable user base in Pakistan. The app has been installed nearly 43 million times in the country, including 14.7 million installs this year alone.
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.
A US district judge granted a preliminary injunction against the ban on new downloads of the video-sharing network, which would have gone into effect at 11:59 pm in Washington.
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.
Any agreement that makes it look like the Trump administration forced China’s hand could hurt Xi Jinping, who has repeatedly hailed the Communist Party’s emergence as a great power.
Oracle & Walmart say American investors will control more than 50% of the new TikTok Global. But this is at odds with ByteDance’s insistence that the company will get a 80% stake.
TikTok makes money by keeping people watching, so it can serve them more ads. To that end, it tracks and collects certain types of user data to better match videos to users.
The Romans’ version of stoicism is rapidly picking popularity on Instagram — Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca are some names that get thrown at you when you fire up your screen.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
Pakistan is one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to violence against women and girls—including rape, so-called honor killings, acid attacks, domestic violence, and forced marriage; and worse still, the vast majority of rapes are committed my male family members of the victims.
You can not deny the fact that tiktok is actually harming our religious values. Everyone knows that the platform has just been in use to spread vulgarity. I personally was against the ban imposed on PUBG because it could destroy the future of Esports in Pakistan. But in this case it was necessary to stop this platform to further harm us.
