TikTok

TikTok is under mounting pressure to break away from it's Chinese government associations as the US has pushed the company to sell and the platform has seen a significant usage decrease in light of the platforms ban from India, and if they don't sell, the US too. Microsoft is currently evaluating the company for a takeover offer.

In light of this pressure, the platform is also updating its efforts to counter election misinformation on the platform and a study has recently been released that highlights how TikTok helps Gen Z learn about social justice issues.
