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: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Discovery of Nearly 300 Bodies in Mass Grave at Gaza Hospital

Workers from the Gaza Civil Defense announced the discovery of a mass grave with almost 300 bodies at a hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis in Gaza, subsequent to the withdrawal of Israeli forces earlier this month.

Colonel Yamen Abu Suleiman, the Director of Civil Defense in Khan Younis, informed CNN on Monday that 73 bodies were found in the courtyard of the Nasser Medical Complex, bringing the total number to 283.

It is believed that some bodies were discovered with bound hands and feet, along with indications of field executions. The specific circumstances of their deaths, whether they were buried alive or executed, remain unclear.

The IDF has stated that they transported multiple bodies from Gaza to Israel for DNA testing before repatriating the remains in containers. The region surrounding the Nasser Medical Complex experienced heavy bombardment and conflict during January and February.
