Congress tells China: sell TikTok or we’ll ban it: Only America’s courts can save the video app now

economist.com/business/2024/04/24/congress-tells-china-sell-tiktok-or-well-ban-it

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.

President Joe Biden is contemplating Australia's request to cease the long-standing U.S. effort to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for revealing American classified documents.

There is a disparity in the treatment of Assange and Manning, with Obama shortening Manning's sentence while Assange remains under indictment. Supporters of Assange argue he is a journalist protected by the First Amendment who exposed U.S. military misconduct in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

The French man known as 'bollard man' for bravely confronting Joel Cauchi during a stabbing attack in Bondi Junction will be granted permanent residency by the federal government, as confirmed by his lawyer.

His lawyer, Belinda Robinson, mentioned that the official documentation for his permanent residency was expected to arrive soon, following an online petition to recognize his heroic actions.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton commended Mr. Guerot for his extraordinary bravery and willingness to protect others in danger, highlighting his character as an example of the values they cherish.

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.
