Google Blocking Links to News Outlets on Search; Taylor Swift Returns to TikTok; Legal Loophole Could Bring Political Ads to UK TV Screens
Briefly

In protest of a proposed law which would require tech companies in California to pay a journalism usage fee for linking to news sites, Google has temporarily blocked links from local news outlets in the region from appearing in search results.
Taylor Swift reinstated a selection of her songs on TikTok ahead of a planned album release on 19th April - the singer owns the copyrights to her own songs due to a deal struck with Universal in 2018, so is in control of where her music is made available (unlike many artists).
With this figure almost doubling, a loophole in broadcasting law presents new opportunities: since 1955, British political parties have been banned from buying TV ads - however, the ban applies only to traditional linear TV.
