TikTok Shop Continues to Grow Despite U.S. Ban Threat
ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, is investing more in TikTok Shop. Despite a potential US ban, sales have increased.
Data shows a 13% jump in orders from April to May. This is almost double the previous monthly average. Even with the regulatory threat, ByteDance halted European expansion to focus on the US market.
Competitors like Temu and Shein stand to gain if TikTok is banned, as users might shift to these platforms instead of Amazon or Walmart.

Robotaxi for All in San Francisco
Starting now, anyone in San Francisco can hail a Waymo robotaxi via the Waymo One app.
After testing and waitlisting 300,000 users, Waymo has launched its service citywide. San Francisco riders can now have 24/7 access to Waymo's all-electric, driverless fleet.
Waymo currently completes over 50,000 rides weekly across three major cities. About 30% of its rides in San Francisco are to local businesses, while more than half of its users travel to medical appointments.
Waymo recently recalled 672 robotaxis after a vehicle collided with a telephone pole in Phoenix.

OpenAI Closing the Gates to China
Beginning July, OpenAI will block its API access to developers in unsupported regions, including China.
This is part of their policy to control AI usage internationally.
This decision impacts many Chinese developers who relied on its API to build applications.
Chinese tech companies Alibaba, Baidu, and Zhipu are luring OpenAI's users with free migrations and deep discounts.

Julian Assange Set to Be Free
Julian Assange is the founder of WikiLeaks. To some he is a hero and to others he is a dangerous hacker.
For 15 years, Assange fought to avoid US imprisonment. He spent 5 years in prison in England. Now, he will plead guilty to leaking US defense secrets and will be set free.
The Northern Mariana Islands court will handle his case due to its proximity to Australia and Assange’s reluctance to enter mainland US.
The Australian government has pressured the US for his release.
