TikTok is on the target of US and Many more

TikTok is owned by a Chinese company ByteDance, it hosts a variety of short videos with a duration from 15 seconds to 10 minutes for different genres like dance, jokes, stunts, pranks, tricks, and entertainment.

The commissioner of the FCC in writing asked the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, and the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai to kick out TikTok from their app stores because of TikTok’s pattern of surreptitious data practices.

In his letter, Carr clearly stated that TikTok harvests vast troves of sensitive data about American users that could be accessed by ByteDance staff in Beijing.

TikTok is not what appears to be on the surface. It is not just another video app for sharing memes or funny videos. That’s the sheep’s clothing. He added that at its core, TikTok functions as a sophisticated surveillance tool that harvests swaths of personal and sensitive data.

In his letter to the CEOs of Apple and Google Brendan showed his concerns, as you know TikTok is available to millions of American users through app stores, and it collects an extensive amount of personal and sensitive data of those users, which is a national risk for us.

US Supreme court strikes down New York handgun law


The US Supreme Court on Thursday, 23, June paved the way for almost all law-abiding American people to carry concealed and loaded guns in public, after striking down the New York State law requiring ‘Proper Cause’ to carry firearms outside the home.


About almost 25% of the US population lives in states expected to be affected by this decision. This law is considered the first major gun decision of the high court in more than a decade.


The decision will directly affect at least six States -New York, California, Hawaii, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Maryland as they all have similar laws. And these states consist of some densely populated cities of the country.


What is the case about?

The New York law which has been in force since 1913, like many other states require gun owners to demonstrate a ‘Specific Reason’ Or ‘Proper Cause’ Or need for carrying a gun to receive a license. Only license holders can carry a gun in a concealed manner in public.


Other landmark gun decisions issued by the court were in 2008 and 2010, according to which individual gun ownership rights were preserved within homes on a national basis.


This time the question before the court was “what about carrying the handgun outside the home? ” Here US Supreme court found that the ‘Proper Cause’ requirement violates the second amendment right of an American citizen to “Keep and bear arms” under the US Constitution.


Reactions

The Justice’s opinion split the court in a 6 to 3 ruling, with the liberal justices in dissentment and the conservative justices in the majority.


The expansion of gun rights comes subsequent to a series of mass shootings in Buffalo, Grocery store, and another in an elementary school that has impacted the US badly. The ruling has reignited the national debate on gun control.
