TikTok is ramping up a public relations campaign to fend off the possibility of a nationwide ban by the Biden administration

TikTok sends influencers to Washington amid impending ban

TikTok is ramping up a public relations campaign to fend off the possibility of a nationwide ban by the Biden administration

TikTok is ramping up a public relations campaign to fend off the possibility of a nationwide ban by the Biden administration, and it's bringing some unconventional advocates to help: online influencers.
Dozens of TikTok creators &mdash; some with millions of followers on the video-sharing app &mdash; came to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to lobby in favour of the platform, one day before lawmakers are slated to grill the company's chief executive about concerns over user data falling into the hands of the Chinese government.
Shou Zi Chew plans to tell Congress on Thursday that TikTok, which was founded by Chinese entrepreneurs, is committed to user safety, data protection and security, and keeping the platform free from Chinese government influence. He will also answer questions from U.S. lawmakers worried about the social media platform's effects on its young user base.
At the heart of TikTok's trouble is a Chinese national intelligence law that would compel Chinese companies to fork over data to the government for whatever purposes it deems to involve national security.
There's also concern Beijing might try to push pro-China narratives or misinformation through the platform.
At a media event coordinated by TikTok on Wednesday, some content creators acknowledged that concerns about data security are legitimate, but pointed to precautions the company is taking, such as a $1.5 billion plan &mdash; dubbed Project Texas &mdash; to route all U.S. data to domestic servers owned and maintained by the software giant Oracle.
TikTok has been attempting to sell that proposal to the Biden administration, but sceptics have argued it doesn't go far enough.
The administration is reportedly demanding the company's Chinese owners sell their stakes or face a nationwide ban.

As three Cuban asylum-seekers struggled through thick vegetation and razor wire to reach the U.S., a viral voice familiar to many migrants welcomed them. Holding two live-streaming smartphones aloft, TikTok activist Carlos Eduardo Espina narrated their every move for thousands of commenting fans.
The 23-year-old law school student began posting Spanish-language TikTok videos two years ago to help migrants understand the U.S. immigration system. With nearly 3.1 million followers now, Espina's popular posts include the latest news and advice on how migrants can safely reach the U.S.
"The quick format of the videos, where you're able to watch a TikTok in 10 seconds and then watch another one, is really convenient for immigrants- especially if you're on the move- you're going through Mexico or through Central America," said Espina, explaining his videos popularity with traveling migrants.
The social media activist's videos include warnings about crocodile sightings, the latest Title 42 developments and descriptions of items left behind by migrants.
"What I try to do is just tell them the reality of what they can expect when they get to the border," said Espina, after travelling from his home in Las Vegas to the busy crossing point of Eagle Pass, Texas. "It's not so simple as you just cross the border and then you're here in the U.S."
As the sun set over the Rio Grande, many of the 120 Cubans, Colombians and Venezuelans who waded through waist-deep water recognized Espina.
Honduran migrant Laura Martinez shouted her appreciation after following Espina's account for advice on when to cross.
"He informs us of the river current, when it goes up and down- the situation of border agents- and the suffering migrants face when crossing," Martinez explained.
Overnight rains raised the river's water to about neck-level for most adults, a possible explanation for the absence of groups numbering in the dozens, even over 100, that frequent the area many days.
Espina's latest video warning migrants of the dangerous currents may have also dissuaded some.
As tearful migrants embraced nearby, after reaching their final destination, Espina put down his smartphone to reflect on why he started his informational videos.
Espina immigrated legally to Texas when he was five-years-old with his Uruguayan father and Mexican mother and has been involved in community activism since he was a teenager.
"My mentality is- if I'm here, my family was able to immigrate, today I'm a U.S. citizen, why can't others have that same opportunity?" he said explaining his motivation.
"I've been blessed in this country to be able to go to school. Now I'm in law school. I've been able to work. I've been able to contribute," he added. "I want people at the end of the day to be safe, to be secure, and to not make decisions that could potentially put their lives in danger."
Espina came to offer his advice in Eagle Pass due to the relative ease of crossing — migrants walk across the river within a few minutes, often without paying a smuggler — and a perception that it is relatively safe on the Mexican side has made the remote region a major migration route.
Texas' Rio Grande Valley has long been the busiest of nine Border Patrol sectors on the Mexican border, but Del Rio has surged to a close second this year. Yuma, Arizona, another spot known for relative safety and ease of crossing, has jumped to third-busiest.

Move aside unicorns as we put the focus on decacorns. Over 35 privately-owned start-ups globally now command a valuation of over $10 billion dollars.
With TikTok parent ByteDance tipping the scale at $140 billion, one Indian company has also made it to the rankings.
Here are 5 decacorns that caught the EJ eye! 
1. First up the obvious - Dancing away to a $140 billion valuation is the creator of TikTok, ByteDance. The video-sharing platform has reached 1 billion monthly users worldwide, adding 300 million users in a year. But bear in mind this China-based platform's valuation is speculated to be north of $300 billion as per market buzz of the latest share sale in the unlisted market. 
2. Staying within the creative space, a start-up from Downunder was a surprise entry- the graphic creation platform Canva. The company achieved a $40 billion valuation in September, triple the figure from five months before, making the entrepreneur Melanie Perkins one of the world’s richest women. 
Perkins reportedly started Canva from her mother’s living room in 2012 with a vision that anyone, with a little help, could become a decent graphic designer. Canva’s freemium software is used by more than 60 million monthly users. But more than 500,000 paying teams now use Canva, too.
3. From social and design platforms to gaming! The trinity of the pandemic push ...Epic Games, developer of the popular video game Fortnite makes it to the list with a $28 billion valuation. 
Epic’s latest market value represents a 66% increase from what it was worth last year. Outside the gaming world, Epic is best known for it' battle with Apple and even Google as it drags the tech giants to court over 'uncompetitive' practices on their respective App Stores. 
4. China's crackdown on Edtech funding may have been India's gain as the only Indian start-up to make the list is Edtech giant Byju's with a valuation topping $21 billion. India’s most valuable start-up, the online education provider Byju’s has acquired 10 companies in just the last year. 
Byju’s, which became a unicorn in 2018 has doubled its valuation in 3 years and spent over $2.5 billion in buyouts in 2021 alone. Byju’s currently has more than 100 million registered students and 6.5 million paid subscribers.
5. Good grammar pays ..well at least for Grammarly, this US-based popular grammar checking tool is now valued at $13 billion. Two Ukrainian-born entrepreneurs started the subscription-based automated writing assistant called Sentenceworks in 2009 to help students with their grammar and spelling.
The product later evolved into Grammarly, which is now the 10th most valuable US startup as 30 million people use the writing software each day, according to the San Francisco-based company.
