TikTok Goes Dark in the US Hours Before Ban Amid Government Demands and Legal Challenges | Details

Donald Trump's involvement in the TikTok issue stems from his actions as President of the United States in 2020. Back then, he sought to ban TikTok over national security concerns, citing fears that the app, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, could potentially share user data with the Chinese government. His administration attempted to force ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. company or face a nationwide ban.

Firefighters are making progress in battling wildfires in Southern California as winds ease. The Palisades and Eaton fires, which have burned thousands of acres, are seeing containment improvements. However, the region remains at risk for new fires due to low humidity. Authorities have warned against scams and price gouging, while volunteers and community leaders like Meghan Markle and Jay Leno contribute to relief efforts. As Santa Ana winds shift, the short-term danger decreases, but officials remain cautious about future threats.
