Former President Donald Trump, who once sought to force TikTok’s Chinese owners to sell the platform, is booming on the social media app more than President Biden. Since last November, TikTok has seen twice as much pro-Trump content as pro-Biden content, two TikTok officials told Puck. There have been 1.29 million videos or images that […]
TikTok on Thursday announced it will automatically slap labels on AI-generated images and videos posted to its platform to better inform users about the content they consume. To implement the change, TikTok has adopted Content Credentials, which attach metadata to posts to help platforms identify which posts need an “AI generated” label. The change took […]
TikTok sued the U.S. government Tuesday, arguing that a looming ban on the social media company is unconstitutional. The case raises questions about the dangers of social media, national security concerns over China’s exploitation of the platform, First Amendment rights and the extent of congressional power. TikTok urged judges to focus on free speech claims, […]
TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance are suing the U.S. over a law that would ban the popular video-sharing app unless it’s sold to another company.

Salon published a commentary today under the truly stupid headline “Attempted TikTok heist by Congress just proves our data is safer with China than the NSA.” Aside from proving that Salon is garbage, what is the point of this?
