Congress approves bill banning TikTok unless Chinese owner ByteDance sells platform
ft.com/content/d84df824-19c0-4105-ae95-816dd0618efb
Quick Glance: Congress Approves Potential TikTok Ban: What's Next?
- Congress has passed a law that could result in a nationwide TikTok ban. President Biden is expected to sign the bill, forcing TikTok to find a new owner or be banned from the US.
- The law gives TikTok's Chinese parent company 270 days to sell the app. Biden could extend the deadline by 90 days. The law was attached to a foreign aid package to expedite its passage.
- Since Biden has supported the law, he is likely to sign it. TikTok has vowed to take the government to court if the bill is signed.
- Experts suggest that a TikTok ban could violate free speech rights. A court challenge could temporarily block the law, but TikTok would need to comply if no injunction is granted.

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.

bbc.co.uk/news/av/science-environment-68858934
Quick Glance: Return of the 'Devil Comet' after 71 Years
- The green, horned 'Devil comet' is now visible in Australian skies, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a unique celestial body.
- The comet, whose nucleus has a 34km diameter, has been likened to Halley's comet due to its molecular structure and was nicknamed 'Devil comet' due to eruptions from its nucleus.
- The 'Devil comet,' also known as 12P/Pons-Brooks, becomes more visible as it gets closer to the sun due to its hot icy core and gas trail. It will be at its brightest on 22 April, but finding it might be challenging as it competes with the full moon.
- Experts suggest initially spotting the comet with binoculars or a telescope, although it will also be visible to the naked eye. It is considered a piece of history and special due to its brightness.
