U.S. Senate passes bill forcing TikTok's parent company to sell or face ban, sends to Biden for signature
ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/u-s-senate-passes-bill-forcing-tiktok-s-parent-company-to-sell-or-face-ban-sends-to-biden-for-signature-1.6859538
Quick Glance: Senate Passes Legislation on TikTok's Parent Company
- The Senate passed legislation on Tuesday that would compel TikTok's China-based parent company to sell the platform or potentially face a ban. This controversial move is expected to be legally challenged and impact content creators reliant on the app.
- The bill, part of a larger $95 billion package, was approved 79-18 and is now headed to President Joe Biden for signing on Wednesday.
- The revised legislation extends the deadline to nine months with a potential three-month extension. It also prohibits the company from controlling TikTok's algorithm, a key feature of the platform.
- The passage of the legislation reflects longstanding bipartisan concerns in Washington regarding Chinese threats and ownership of TikTok, a platform used by 170 million Americans. Opponents argue that comprehensive federal data privacy laws targeting all companies, irrespective of origin, would be the best protection for US consumers.

Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich
- Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.
- Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.
- Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.
- Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order
- Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.
- Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.
