- US TikTok ban -

 

Recently, lawmakers in America passed a bill that could potentially effectively ban TikTok within the USA. The bill states that foreign owned organisations would fall under the ban, and therefore, Chinese own TikTok could be banned, unless its Chinese parent company sells its stake. 

Biden has vowed to implement this bill as soon as possible, triggering a spat with Chinese officials.

Many are happy with the ban, claiming both that TikTok is a bad influence on people, and that it is not good for China to potentially have access to millions of American users' data.

However, as with everything, many people are also unhappy with the bill, claiming that it gives government more authority/control over people's online experience, and that it is actually a bit of a trojan horse bill that would ultimately target any other organizations that are critical of the government.

 

So, do you think this is a good move? What are the risks of giving the government this kind of authority? And how does it compare to the risks of allowing TikTok to continue?

- Haiti chaos -

 

Haiti has recently fallen into chaos as gangs forced the president to resign whilst abroad (and refusing to allow him to reenter the country). At the same time, gangs have caused violence on the streets, taken over certain buildings and establishments, released criminals from prisons, and of course stolen lots of money and goods.

 

There have even been reports of cannibalism in the country over food shortages. However this has also been claimed to be false. Who knows?

 

How did it get to this stage? What led to this series of events, and now, how can they get out of this situation? Is there any chance of Haiti regaining any form stability any time soon?

- Is the 2024 election the most important US presidential election in recent memory? -

 

 Recently there has been some discussion on whether the 2024 election is the most important US presidential election in recent memory. Democrats claim that the future of democracy in the US is at stake, while Republicans claim that the economy, immigration, and livelihood are at stake.

 

However, this is something that is often stated for every election. Politicians have an incentive to do this in order to encourage their voter base to turn out. Is it different this time, or is this just a standard US election? Is an election necessarily more important than another? Is it possible to quantify this, or is it ultimately subjective? What is causing this sentiment to be more common nowadays in the US?
