☆ Banned political ads found on TikTok weeks ahead of 2024 election

TikTok has banned all political advertising on the app since 2019, but that hasn’t stopped advertisers from running what appear to be paid political messages on the platform. According to TikTok, the company does “not allow ads featuring political content across any of our monetization features, including paid ads, creators being paid to make branded political content, and other promotional tools on the platform.”TikTok stands apart among its big tech peers in banning political ads — Facebook, Instagram, X and Google all allow political advertisements. The continued presence of political ads on TikTok illustrates the difficulties in patrolling its own platform just weeks ahead of the 2024 presidential election and amid the court proceedings over its potential ban. The findings come as recent research shows that political ads on social media platforms are often filled with misinformation. There were no obvious signs of misinformation among the TikTok videos NBC reviewed.

Three weeks later, she tracked down the French supplier, facilitated a shipment of muffins to the U.S. and dealt with the resulting challenges, all to bring the viral muffins to New York City for a pop-up event. In a thread on X, Zhang detailed how she worked with New York City cafe Isshiki Matcha to bring the viral muffins to hundreds of New Yorkers on Aug. 17. Isshiki Matcha, which has been open for four months, primarily sells premium matcha and matcha drinks. “I could eat this viral muffin that all these Olympic athletes can’t stop talking about.”Zhang described the muffin as light, moist and not too sweet. Zhang and Zheng are trying to import another batch of muffins to sell (and eat), but nothing has been finalized yet.

Tropical Storm Debby has strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane ahead of its anticipated landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast on Monday, U.S. forecasters said late Friday. The hurricane was about 65 miles west of Cedar Key, Florida, and about 100 miles west of Tampa, and moving north at about 12 mph, the center said. Debby is expected to continue strengthening before it reaches the Big Bend coast on Monday, weakening after it moves inland across northern Florida and southern Georgia, it said. A sign warns of a storm surge before the possible arrival of Tropical Storm Debby in Cedar Key, Fla., on Sunday. Ron DeSantis compared Debby’s path to that of Hurricane Idalia, the Category 4 storm in 2023 that caused significant damage in north Florida.
