Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
  • ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

  • Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

  • ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

  • As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Federal judge rejects Trump's appeal of $83M defamation verdict in E ...
Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll
  • A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.

  • In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”

  • Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”

  • In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.
