Facebook is currently testing a system that charges users for sharing web links, which could adversely affect news organizations and media publishers by limiting the sharing of their content. This move has sparked concerns among media outlets about the potential impact on their businesses.

Meanwhile, TikTok has signed a deal to sell its U.S. business to three American investors, including Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX, allowing the platform to operate in the United States without Chinese influence.

This deal marks a significant step in TikTok's ongoing efforts to address regulatory scrutiny while maintaining its presence in the U.S. market.
