| ⏰ Good Morning! Here's your wake-up dose: | Did you know? Bananas are berries, but strawberries aren't! Botanically speaking, bananas meet the criteria for berries, while strawberries do not. Nature sure has some surprising rules! 🍌🍓 | — Nature Nerd 🌱 | | | | | | AM Shift Report | What's next for TikTok? App left with few options after skeptical Supreme Court reception | | TikTok's future in the U.S. is uncertain after a skeptical reception during Supreme Court hearings on Friday. If the Court upholds a law requiring TikTok to divest from its Chinese ownership by January 19, the platform could be forced to shut down, unless it sells to a U.S. company. However, ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, has refused to approve a sale, despite interest from U.S. buyers. If the Court finds the law unconstitutional, TikTok could continue operating as it is today. | TikTok has requested an extension to the decision deadline, which could allow more time to negotiate a sale or find an alternative resolution. Experts suggest that a favorable ruling for TikTok is unlikely, with possible outcomes including pressure on Congress to rescind the law or a directive to not enforce it. If TikTok is shut down, other platforms like Meta and YouTube could benefit, but millions of American users and creators would face significant disruptions. | |
