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.

CNN heard from five young influencers about how the proposed TikTok ban might impact content creators and their vote in the upcoming election. Biden just signed a potential TikTok ban into law. Here’s what happens next | CNN Business
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.
