Musk has essentially laughed off suggestions that anyone could believe that the video is real, claiming that it’s a parody and “parody is legal in America.” But when you’re sharing AI-generated deepfakes with hundreds of millions of people, there is indeed a risk that at least some of…

The US Senate has voted on a bill that will either ban TikTok or force its parent company, ByteDance, to forfeit ownership of the social media app.

TikTok skeptics in the US claimed a landslide victory, with 79 senators voting in favor of the bill and 18 against.

The vote occurred on April 24, ten days after the House of Representatives passed the bill, titled Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applicants Act, by a margin of 360 to 58.

He previously declared he would sign the bill if it passed both Congress chambers.
