Senate passes bill forcing TikTok's parent company to sell or face ban, sends to Biden for signature
apnews.com/article/tiktok-ban-congress-bill-1c48466df82f3684bd6eb21e61ebcb8d
Quick Glance: Senate Passes Bill Requiring TikTok Sale Amid Ban Threat
- The Senate has passed a bill on Tuesday that would compel TikTok's China-based parent company to sell the social media platform or face a ban. This controversial move by U.S. lawmakers is expected to encounter legal challenges and disrupt the lives of content creators who depend on the short video app for their income.
- The legislation, part of a larger $95 billion package providing foreign aid to Ukraine and Israel, was passed 79-18. It now awaits President Joe Biden's signature after he expressed his intention to sign it the day after its passage.
- The revised bill extends ByteDance's deadline to sell TikTok to nine months, with a potential three-month extension if a sale is in progress. Additionally, the legislation prohibits the company from controlling TikTok's algorithm, a critical component that customizes user videos based on their interests and has contributed to making the platform a trendsetting phenomenon.
- The passage of the bill reflects bipartisan concerns in Washington regarding Chinese threats and TikTok's ownership, catering to 170 million American users. Lawmakers and officials have long worried about Chinese authorities potentially coercing ByteDance to disclose U.S. user data or manipulate American users through TikTok's content regulation.

Seattle hospital won’t turn over gender-affirming care records in lawsuit settlement with Texas
apnews.com/article/seattle-hospital-texas-records-paxton-e1d308835657c40e2e176d7f11d7f749
Quick Glance: Seattle Children’s to Exit Texas Due to Gender-Affirming Care
- Seattle Children’s Hospital will forego its ability to do business in Texas as part of an agreement with the state’s Attorney General to stop inquiries into gender-affirming care for Texas patients.
- Last year, Attorney General Ken Paxton attempted to compel Seattle Children’s to turn over information about gender-affirming care that Texas patients may have received at the facility. The hospital sued Paxton, stating that the office doesn’t have jurisdiction over patient records in Washington.
- Seattle Children’s will 'voluntarily withdraw its registration to transact business in the State of Texas' by the end of the week. Paxton’s office will rescind its civil investigative demand and its request for a sworn written declaration served to the hospital in November.
- Paxton also requested information on patients from Texas who received gender-affirming care services at the Seattle hospital, including diagnoses details, prescribed medications, and other treatment protocols. Additionally, his office asked for similar records from a telehealth clinic in Georgia.

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits
- The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

- Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.
- Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

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.

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.
