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.

Quick Glance: Laurence Fox ordered to pay damages for libel

Actor-turned-politician Laurence Fox has been instructed to pay £90,000 in damages to two individuals he labeled as 'paedophiles' on social media.

Following a libel dispute in the High Court, he is now required to pay a total of £180,000.

During an exchange over Sainsbury's decision to recognize Black History Month in October 2020, Fox referred to Mr. Blake and Crystal as 'paedophiles.'

In a prior ruling in January, Fox's counterclaims were rejected, and judgment was made in favor of Mr. Blake and Mr. Seymour.

usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/26/joe-biden-donald-trump-debate/73468727007/

Quick Glance: Fact Check: Biden Repeats Claim of Arrest for Defending Civil Rights. Still No Evidence

President Joe Biden reiterated his story of allegedly trying to defend the civil rights of Black Americans on 'The Howard Stern Show.' However, there is no evidence to support his claim of ever being arrested at a civil rights protest, as noted by 'The Washington Post' and 'PolitiFact.'

Biden has told the story of his supposed presence at a specific protest in Delaware at least twice without mentioning an arrest. He stated that the police simply took him home on that day.

It is impossible to prove definitively whether Biden was present at this or a similar protest over 60 years ago. He has also made other false claims about his personal life in the past.

Biden falsely claimed to have 'driven an 18-wheeler' and that he never earned $400,000 in a year. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he claimed to have been 'arrested' as a US senator while trying to visit South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela in prison, which turned out to be untrue.

Quick Glance: Chinese TikTok App Sale Required for National Security Measures

A newly enacted law mandates the sale of the Chinese-owned TikTok app to address national security concerns.

According to experts, China has intensified its online information operations in recent years to advance its broader objectives.

China has actively sought to leverage TikTok to influence politics in Taiwan, yet these endeavors ultimately proved unsuccessful.

While TikTok was utilized in these publicly identified Chinese operations, researchers have not observed a specific emphasis on the app compared to other popular platforms.

Quick Glance: Lawsuit Alleges Grindr's Unauthorized HIV Status Disclosure

A group of 670 individuals have joined a class action lawsuit against LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr in the UK seeking damages for the alleged unauthorized disclosure of HIV status and other sensitive data to third parties.

The lawsuit claims that Grindr violated UK data protection laws by sharing user data without consent, particularly data disclosed before April 3, 2018, and between May 25, 2018, and April 7, 2020.

Researchers from SINTEF in 2018 published information indicating that Grindr was sharing user data, including HIV status, with analytics companies, sparking intense criticism and prompting changes to the company's privacy policy.

Grindr was fined 65 million Norwegian kroner for violating GDPR consent rules, leading to further legal issues in the US.
