TikTok dodges ban in Kenya, faces stricter scrutiny
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.

400 bodies recovered from mass graves at Gaza hospitals
Quick Glance: UN Calls for Investigation into Mass Graves at Two Gaza Hospitals
  • The United Nations called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the mass graves at two major hospitals in Gaza that were searched by Israeli troops.

  • It was emphasized that investigators must have access to the sites, and a greater number of journalists should be able to work safely in Gaza to report on the facts.

  • Some of the bodies belonged to individuals killed during the hospital siege, while others were victims when Israeli forces raided the hospital.

  • The discovery of the graves highlights the urgency of a ceasefire, the end of the conflict, improved access for humanitarian aid, the protection of hospitals, and the release of Israeli hostages.
