TikTok faces U.S. ban deadline as Meta shifts content moderation strategy and AI use grows in Canada

TikTok faces a potential U.S. ban by January 19 unless its parent company, ByteDance, sells the app. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments today regarding the law that could enforce the ban, which some believe may be challenged by incoming President Trump. Meta has ended its fact-checking program, citing biases among third-party checkers. The company will now use a community notes system, allowing users to comment on misleading posts, aligning with the incoming administration's stance on content moderation. Canadian businesses are exploring AI's benefits, finding it useful for tasks in coding and customer service. However, many applications are low-impact, yielding minimal cost savings. Meanwhile, AI influencers are emerging on social media, raising questions about authenticity.
