TikTok Ban Signed Into Law by President Biden

Owner ByteDance has 270 days to sell off TikTok.

On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

  • What You Need to Start Playing Roblox

    What You Need to Start Playing Roblox

    Have you played Roblox? It’s a trick question, really - Roblox is perhaps not best described as a “game” in the conventional sense. It’s not even a creativity sandbox masquerading as a game, like Minecraft or Terraria. Rather, Roblox is a suite of tools that allows budding developers and game enthusiasts to create their own projects. It’s something gamers have taken to in spades; Roblox is immensely popular, and some of the games available via its friendly storefront...
