I don't know if you're ready for the social media news this week because ... it's a lot.Ā Ā TikTok could officially be getting banned, Meta had the great outage of 2024, Elon is doing Elon, and so much more. Ā Honestly, you're gonna need to put on the DND on your phone and email, grab a big ol' drink, and let's get right into it. |
Well, it looks like it could finally happen this time. TikTok could be officially banned in the USA. Ā
Lawmakers have introduced a bill that will punish App Stores from having TikTok listed ā¦ unless TikTok separates from its parent company ByteDance. Ā
If you remember correctly (like I definitely do), the state of Montana tried to ban TikTok, however, the Supreme Court stepped in and said: āBabe, thatās against the First Amendment.ā So ā¦ how can lawmakers justify this? Ā By saying they are giving TikTok a choice in the matter and pushing the blame on App Stores if they donāt remove TikTok. Ā Yikes. Ā Will the ban actually go through, or are we looking at another year of the US government talking about banning it again? |

No good, very bad day for social media š |
Hopefully you marked yourself safe from the Meta and LinkedIn outages of 2024. Last Tuesday, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads were all down and social media managers everywhere were both thrilled ā¦ and scared.
Ā According to Meta, it was just a ātechnicalā issue (no, duh) and made it appear that everyone had logged out of their accounts and forgotten their password. Ā
Of course, Elon Musk poked fun at the tech issue over on X by tweeting āIf youāre reading this post, itās because our servers are working.ā Fair play, Musk. Fair play.Ā Ā Thankfully for Meta, and I guess for SMMs, the apps finally came back online and were working normally. Ā
And then, lo and behold, LinkedIn got hit with the social media bug and went down the next day, mere hours after Meta.Ā Ā
Were the two instances related? No one knows. But this is a good reminder to us all to have back-up plans on how to market and connect with our followers in ways that arenāt social media related! |
Just out here trying to make it through the week... |
