  • TikTok has filed a lawsuit aiming to block a US law that would ban the app in the country - unless it is sold by its Chinese parent company.
    The social media company said that move was an “extraordinary intrusion on free speech rights” of the company and its 170 million American users.
    President Joe Biden signed the bill into law last month, citing national security concerns - following claims that TikTok’s Chinese ownership raises the risk that data on US users could fall into the hands of the Chinese government.
    But, TikTok has maintained it is independent of the government, while parent company ByteDance said it has no plans to sell the business.

    All child social media accounts should be directly linked to adult supervision by at least one of the following: father, mother, legal guardian, school ICT officer, school headteacher (not every teacher), or social worker. If not then the social media company should not be allowed a license.

    Why is BBC saying no word on Brazil’s worst flood ever? Thousands of people in need of help, their houses covered with water, lost every single thing, have no food or safe drinking water, their cities now have no access other than through helicopters, and the president is denying help from neighbouring countries. President Lula is a shame to Brazil. Please cast light to this horrible chaos that’s happening.
    Our own population is helping the affected people and rescuing families, babies, children, even animals.
    Were are the United Nations? Where is humanitarian help?
    BBC is more worried about celebrities and their outfits and wars in well known countries.
    Ps.: the floods are natural here, but the government didn’t prepare well enough to make passages to the excess water.
    Google Porto Alegre enchente and be very startled. Imagine if it was New York.
