Big changes are brewing in the tech world 🔍 The Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act are nudging tech companies to be more responsible in tackling illegal content and empowering users with more control over their #data. But this benefits everyone! 👍✅ It's no secret that most #socialmedia users are often left in the dark about where their data goes. However, there's a bright side: #European citizens are already witnessing the positive impact of the #law. #InfluenceForGood Let's take a look at some examples together! ⤵️ 💚 Meta apps now let users control their data-sharing 💚 iPhone owners can buy apps from outside the App Store 💚 Messaging across services is now as easy as texting But what impact do these two sweeping big tech laws – the Digital Markers Act and the Digital Services Act have on #influencemarketing?

The US Congress is going head on against ByteDance's widely popular #TikTok app over #informationsecurity and #dataprivacy concerns. If passed, the bill would force ByteDance to de-invest from TikTok or have the app banned from the US marketplace entirely. No idea how a de-investment and then some way of relinquishing control would even be possible technically for a cloud-based app infrastructure, so this sounds more like the app would be gone then, in which case there might be some harsh reactions from China. There are also concerns voiced by civil liberties groups, which say the measures "are unconstitutional and would infringe on millions of users’ rights to free expression online."

Time is tocking!⁠ ⁠ If the US ban TikTok it could encourage European nations like the UK to do the same. With many Western countries already banning the use of TikTok on government mobile devices, the UK marketing industry may be facing a world without TikTok. Would this spell trouble or opportunity for digital marketers? Will a new app arise? Or will people move to existing platforms? #TickTock #DigitalMarketing #SocialMedia #Meta #Instagram #News

The potential global impact of the TikTok ban raises questions about the future of the app and its ability to maintain its user base outside of the US.

#US: #TikTok to #Sue US Government Over App Ban ---   The bill officially known as the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act was signed by President Joe Biden on 24 April and gives TikTok's #Chinese parent company ByteDance until 19 January next year to #sell the app to another company or face a ban. This was done due to rising concerns of #users' #data being #monitored and #collected by China.   TikTok claims that the app ban is a #breach of the #First #Amendment which protects #freespeech. It aims to fight for the right to remain in the US where it has the most amount of users - 170 million.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/eZBAzvqy #dataprotection #dataprivacy

Just as I had suspected would happen, a bill effectively banning TikTok in the Philippines has been filed in the House of Representatives. The proposed measure would authorize the President to identify countries as "foreign adversaries" whose interests are antithetical to the Philippines' national interests. Consequently, a web application will be banned from app marketplaces and internet hosting services if it is found to be controlled by those adversaries. The bill differs from the US TikTok ban, where the law explicitly identifies the adversarial countries (North Korea, China, Russia, and Iran). However, like the US law, it allows app developers to seek a remedy in the form of qualified divestment of the foreign adversary's affiliates. As for the prospects of the bill being enacted (at least timeline-wise), Congress is on recess until July so the bill can't be considered before then. Moreover, the 19th Congress will adjourn by mid-2025 after the midterm elections. I'm not sure if that will be enough time to pass a measure as controversial as this - this bill may have to be re-filed in the 20th Congress.
