🧑‍⚖️ Trump asks Supreme Court to pause imminent TikTok ban

If the app isn’t sold, the ban is set to take effect in just a few weeks, on January 19.

The trending topics are visible both on the desktop and mobile apps of the social network for users across the world.

🕵️ Turns out, Facebook receives data on individual users from thousands of companies

Facebook collects data from an average of 2,230 companies per user, with one extreme case involving 48,000 companies.

Did that push up overall sports marketing spending?

It’s basically the YouTube equivalent of Google’s ‘I’m feeling lucky’ button.
