TikTok Moves to Limit Russian and Chinese Media's Reach in Big Election Year
Briefly

TikTok introduces new measures to restrict videos from state-affiliated media like RT and People's Daily to prevent them from reaching communities outside their home country.
State-affiliated media accounts on TikTok will no longer be allowed to appear in users' main feeds if trying to reach global audiences, nor can they advertise outside their home countries.
Concerns over misinformation and national security threats from Chinese-owned TikTok led to the passing of a law forcing ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to sell or face a ban in the U.S.
Officials, including U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, expressed worries about TikTok being used to disrupt U.S. elections, prompting support for laws restricting its operations.
