FCC commissioner calls on Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores

FCC commissioner calls on Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores
huh. It's *** lot of work just to film at Tiktok holes much bigger than this one have been found all over santa bell. Many thanks to *** new social media challenge, but the real challenges to our turtles who might get stuck in here or to whoever has to fill it in. You come and you make castles, you dig holes. It's what the beach is all about. But leaving hand carved castles like this or even colossal craters is *** big no, no, I almost fell in one. You might too, if you're doing the Sanibel stoop looking for shells or taking *** midnight walk under the stars. These holes aren't typically what you'd expect to see. Rather. They're more like shafts up to five ft deep and four ft wide. I've seen indentations. I've never seen holes like this before. Alison Ward spotted these last week in first thing monday morning I found four holes. Two of them were especially deep. It took the power of santa bells Public Works Team to get them patched up. When we're looking at the depth and size of some of these holes that we found on the beach. This wasn't just really *** sandcastle, same goes down the coast on Marco Island. The Police Department posted this picture on twitter. Look at the shovel for an idea of how big this hole actually is. There was some, you know, some Tiktok challenges saying how deep can you dig. I don't care if they dig to china just fill it in before they leave. It's not just for us, but for the turtles this time of year, the beaches busy, even when you're fast asleep, we have moms on the beach at night and we have the baby's going to the water at night. They face so many threats already. This is one small thing that we can all do to help them. All right. So here's the rule. If you dig *** hole, fill it back in and if you build it, they will come smash it down if you don't. So if you really want to leave your mark on santa bell, there is only one good way to do so. Leave only footprints reporting on Sanibel golding abc seven.

FCC commissioner calls on Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores
A member of the Federal Communications Commission is renewing calls for Apple and Google to remove TikTok from their app stores, citing national security concerns surrounding TikTok's Chinese-based parent company, ByteDance.In a June 24 letter to the CEOs of Apple and Google, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr described ByteDance as "beholden" to the Chinese government and "required by law to comply with surveillance demands." Citing a recent BuzzFeed News report that ByteDance's Chinese staff had accessed U.S. TikTok users' data on multiple occasions, Carr said the allegations showed how TikTok is "out of compliance with the policies that both of your companies require every app to adhere to."Apple and Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, TikTok called the BuzzFeed report "misleading.""Like many global companies, TikTok has engineering teams around the world," TikTok said. "We employ access controls like encryption and security monitoring to secure user data, and the access approval process is overseen by our US-based security team. TikTok has consistently maintained that our engineers in locations outside of the US, including China, can be granted access to U.S. user data on an as-needed basis under those strict controls."For years, U.S. officials have expressed concerns that Chinese government access to U.S. users' data or communications could put national security at risk. But whether Carr's plea will work is uncertain.The FCC plays no role in regulating internet-based services such as app stores, and prior efforts by the U.S. government to ban TikTok from U.S. app stores have faltered amid court challenges. Decisions about how and whether the FCC should act would require buy-in from Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, who leads the independent federal agency.The same day as the BuzzFeed report, TikTok announced that it had migrated its U.S. user data to Oracle cloud servers based in the United States, and that it would eventually be deleting backups of its U.S. user data from its own proprietary servers.Carr wrote in his letter that he was not assured by the announcement. "TikTok has long claimed that its U.S. user data has been stored on servers in the U.S. and yet those representations provided no protection against the data being accessed from Beijing," he said. "Indeed, TikTok's statement that '100% of US user traffic is being routed to Oracle' says nothing about where that data can be accessed from."
