, as well as platforms used primarily by the Chinese diaspora such as WeChat.
The Australian government will continue to look at ways to manage the privacy concerns posed by social media companies such as TikTok. The Australian Defence Force has already banned the use of TikTok on its devices, and other Commonwealth departments could follow. "But people should know that the line connects right back to China and that they should exercise their own judgement about whether they should participate in those things or not," he said.

Trump makes TikTok an offer it can't refuseDonald Trump has made ByteDance an offer some are likening to extortion - either it sells its popular TikTok app to an American company or it will be banned from operating in the US | Stephen Bartholomeusz and the land of the free... Seems good to me, then an american company owns it. It’s only fair. American social media companies like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, whatsapp aren’t allowed to operate in China. It’s reciprocal business, not extortion.

Donald Trump sets September deadline for TikTok sale, approves Microsoft's planUS President Donald Trump says that popular Chinese-owned video app TikTok would be 'out of business' in the United States if it did not sell its US operations by 15 September, preferably to an American buyer. Idiot The US President should put his focus on more pressing issues than a social media app. So a Chinese social media app made it big and they can't handle it? 🙄 All because the man child ruining America is upset teenagers are taking the piss out of him. Sums up the state of global politics I guess.

Microsoft to keep exploring TikTok deal after talks with Donald TrumpMicrosoft announced it would continue talks to acquire the US operations of popular video-sharing app TikTok, after meeting with President Donald Trump who was seemingly backing off his earlier threats to ban the Chinese-owned platform. That's the strategy, suggest an 'extreme', and a better option will arise. ‘Sell it to us with a cheap price or else we’ll ban it.’ That’s the US strategy. What’s in it for Australia?

Workers without sick leave to get $1,500 'disaster payment' in VictoriaThe Federal Government will introduce a $1,500 'disaster payment' for workers who need to self-isolate but do not have sick leave Prime Minister Scott Morrison says. Gee I wonder where he got that idea.... Great for those who need to self isolate. What about workers who don't have access to JobKeeper or JobSeeker? Are they supposed to pay bills with promises and eat air for six weeks? A lot of them spent their savings to get through the first round of lockdowns. Hasn't Premier Andrews already established this for Victorians❓ Maybe the PM should do it for the other states instead

Early super withdrawals larger than coronavirus support provided through JobKeeper, Keating saysFormer Prime Minister Paul Keating says the early withdrawal of superannuation dwarfs the support the Federal Government has injected through its JobKeeper program — and has entrenched inequality between Australian generations. WITH DRAWS FROM SUPER IS MADNESS The only thing keeping many from sinking. It’ll be interesting to see the DV numbers grow if the ATO act like the robo calls Centrelink had such issues with. He sent Australia's manufacturing to China, now works for the CCP and Jeffrey Epstein slept with his daughter. There's not a bigger loser in this country.
