Because of this, Chinese-owned ByteDance must sell the platform to a US-based company, or cease the operation of TikTok in the United States. Opposition to the…

While the launch was last week, DeepSeek is already gaining serious traction in the market. The company’s technology is comparable to most giant US manufacturers but with cheaper and more powerful chips. DeepSeek…

This comes after a four-year-long investigation into multiple allegations of sexual assault and domestic violence made by several people. According to Los Angeles County District Attorney (DA) Nathan Hochman, the allegations are too old under the law. “We have determined that allegations of domestic violence fall outside of the statute of limitations, and we cannot prove charges of sexual assault beyond a reasonable doubt,” Hochman explained. “We recognize and applaud the courage and resilience of the women who came…
