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.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

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.

The rule does not affect overtime requirements for hourly workers.

The new rule is expected to face legal challenges, with many businesses expressing concerns about economic uncertainty and labor shortages.

Imagining an internet without TikTok after Biden signs potential ban: The potential TikTok ban is law. What happens now?

Quick Glance: Potential Buyers for TikTok Revealed

The clock is ticking for TikTok to find a new owner. President Joe Biden signed a law that could ban TikTok in the US unless ByteDance sells the app. Possible buyers range from tech companies to retailers and investment bankers.

Established tech giants like Meta or Google are unlikely buyers due to antitrust hurdles. Large companies with deep pockets face regulatory skepticism, although they could have the resources to purchase TikTok.

Microsoft, which has shown interest in TikTok in the past, may have another opportunity after successfully navigating antitrust scrutiny with the Activision Blizzard deal. Oracle and former US government officials like Steven Mnuchin are also potential buyers.

Mnuchin has announced assembling a team of investors to acquire TikTok. His offer, however, might exclude TikTok's algorithm, sparking controversial discussions. Other potential buyers like Kevin O'Leary are also considering acquiring TikTok, with O'Leary suggesting an initial bid between $20 and $30 billion.

Quick Glance: New York Overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, citing prejudicial rulings by the judge in the landmark #MeToo trial.

The State Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America's reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures, ordering a new trial where his accusers might have to relive their traumas.

Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction, but will remain imprisoned due to another rape conviction in Los Angeles in 2022.

This decision marks another setback for #MeToo, following the US Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal in the Bill Cosby case, where his sexual assault conviction was overturned by a Pennsylvania court.
