I interviewed Joseph Nye just a year ago to talk about “tech power” vs soft power. He encouraged me to continued my research around public and digital diplomacy. RIP professor!

Just got a new alert in the TikTok app: Welcome back! Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.! You can continue to create, share, and discover all the things you love on TikTok.

The TikTok popup has changed again, now not referencing Trump anymore. 3 popup versions so far since last night, signaling perhaps crisis communications mode

Just a few days before the TikTok ban in the United States. Trump is considering an executive order. A bill in the Senate could halt the ban. But the app could disappear in the US on January 19.

39% of young adults in the US rely on TikTok for news. A ban would silence Gen Z and erase a vital space for diverse voices. Greater support for media from TikTok could instead unlock its full potential. Read my latest column for @journalismnews.bsky.social www.journalism.co.uk/news/how-the...

How the TikTok ban in the US could silence Gen Z’s newsrooms
Traditional media will have to re-evaluate their strategies to engage with younger audiences if the short-form video platform does not comply with demands from the US government

While the Biden administration is trying to ban TikTok over concerns about “foreign influence operations,” the White House is working behind the scenes to use TikTok for its own foreign influence activities, and allowing some government employees to still use the app

Bluesky and Threads showed us very different visions for a post-X future The two text-based platforms share some of the same goals, but almost none of the same tactics for getting there.

Threads and Blueksy may share some of the same goals, but they’ve shown very different visions for how text-based social networks should operate.

In a few months when people wonder how Elon Musk developed such an outsize influence over British politics, it’ll be worth noting the contribution of push notifications like this from the national broadcaster.
