State of Montana vs. TikTok Escalates as Tech Giants Apple, Amazon, Google Weigh In
The State of Montana vs. TikTok case escalates as two tech groups with backers, including major tech giants Google, Amazon, and Apple, weigh in.
On Monday, two tech groups weighed in, backing TikTok in its lawsuit to prevent enforcement of a statewide ban on the short video-sharing app in Montana. The national trade association NetChoice and tech industry coalition Chamber of Progress contain major tech platforms among their members, including Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Twitter, and (unsurprisingly) TikTok.
Travis Scott Brings Out Kanye West During Rome Performance — First Concert Appearance Since Anti-Semitic Meltdown
Travis Scott brought out Kanye West during his recent Rome performance, Ye’s first on-stage appearance since his anti-semitic meltdown.
Travis Scott’s first Utopia concert since the album’s release took place today at Rome’s Circus Maximus, a public park once that was once the Roman Empire’s largest chariot racing track. The performance marks the first for Travis Scott’s latest album since plans for his launch concert in Egypt fell through — and the show also marks the first public appearance of Kanye West since his string anti-semitic meltdowns.
TikTok Announces ‘Gimme The Mic’ Music Competition for Unsigned Acts — Here Are the Details (and the Prizes)
Weeks after debuting a music streaming service as well as a program ostensibly designed to provide financial support to emerging artists, TikTok has announced and kicked off a “global music competition” for unsigned acts.
Evidently undeterred by threats of a flat-out ban in the United States and elsewhere, the ByteDance subsidiary unveiled its latest music-centered expansion today, via a formal release that was emailed to Digital Music News.
Through 2023’s initial seven or so months, the highly controversial video-sharing app has quietly inked a major pact with Warner Music Group and expanded its New Music hashtag into “a global music discovery hub,” to name just a couple initiatives on the music side. And it’s against this backdrop that TikTok is now looking “to discover new musical talent and support aspiring music creators.”
According to the app’s release about the corresponding “virtual talent show,” dubbed Gimme The Mic, “anyone” age 18 or older can participate by completing the appropriate in-app registration and posting a 30-second (or longer) submission video to TikTok.
