Quick Glance: What Lies Ahead for TikTok in the US?
  • The US Senate has unanimously approved a bill that could potentially lead to the banning of TikTok within nine months, unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, withdraws from the video-sharing app due to concerns about national security threats.

  • President Joe Biden has confirmed his intention to sign the legislation on Wednesday.

  • ByteDance acquired the well-known karaoke app Musical.ly and rebranded it as TikTok back in 2017. It has become one of the fastest-growing applications in the United States, boasting 150 million monthly subscribers.

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.

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.
