Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale
- President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.
- This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.
- TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.
- This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil
- The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.
- In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.
- Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'
- San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.
