Chinese owner denies it’s willing to sell TikTok as US ban looms: TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance said Thursday that it has no plans to sell the social ...

cnn.com/2024/04/25/business/bytedance-denies-reports-selling-tiktok-intl-hnk/

Quick Glance: TikTok Ban Threat: ByteDance Prefers Closure Over Sale, Insiders Say

ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

The university senate voted on a resolution accusing the administration of breaching the rights of students and professors.

Based on a report by the senate executive committee, the administration was criticized for engaging in harmful actions.

Allegations included the hiring of aggressive private investigators who harassed students and intruded into student rooms.

The resolution passed with a 62-14 vote, falling short of a censure proposal against Dr. Shafik.

Quick Glance: USC Main Commencement Canceled Amid Gaza War Protests

Protests against the Israel-Hamas war prompt the cancellation of USC's main graduation ceremony and numerous arrests at campuses nationwide.

Universities are grappling with protests that could disrupt upcoming commencement ceremonies and are considering changes to regulations regarding encampments and exams.

Some students demand schools sever ties with Israel, leading to accusations of antisemitism and concerns about safety on campus.

The wave of protests, inspired by events at Columbia University, has led to civil rights investigations into universities facing protests and complaints of discrimination amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: Rising Key Fed Inflation Measure in March

In March, inflation remained strong, with an important indicator closely monitored by the Federal Reserve indicating elevated price pressures.

The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy increased 2.8% from a year ago in March, above expectations.

Both the all-items PCE price gauge and the core index increased by 2.7%, higher than estimates, leading to a positive market reaction.

Markets reacted mildly to the data, with Wall Street set to open higher, while Treasury yields fell and the probability of rate cuts increased slightly.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

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.
