  • TikTok Files Federal Lawsuit Against Montana Over New Law Banning the App

    TikTok Files Federal Lawsuit Against Montana Over New Law Banning the App

    TikTok has filed a federal lawsuit against the state of Montana, Monday after a bill was passed that plans to ban the app from being downloaded in the state starting early next year, per NPR.

    TikTok is claiming that banning the social media app violates the US Constitution, including the First Amendment free speech clause as well as other federal laws, according to a complaint filed in Montana District Court. The Montana law

    “unlawfully abridges one of the core freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment,”

    the suit states. The company also argued that the concerns surrounding the threat to

    “national security”

    and the Chinese government having access to US customer’s information, are

    “unfounded.” 

    The suit seeks to have the Montana law, which is set to go into effect in January 2024, overturned.

    “We are challenging Montana’s unconstitutional TikTok ban to protect our business and the hundreds of thousands of TikTok users in Montana,”

    TikTok spokesperson Brooke Oberwetter said in a statement.

    “We believe our legal challenge will prevail based on an exceedingly strong set of precedents and facts.”

    The bill which was signed by Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte last week, would fine companies like Apple and Google, which operate app stores, fees up to $10,000 a day if they make the app available for download within the state once it commences January 1, 2024.

    TikTok is owned by the Chinese internet company ByteDance. TikTok currently has 150 million users in the U.S., according to the company. Hypothetical concerns from the Biden administration on whether China uses the app to collect data on Americans, and spy on U.S. citizens have been debunked by TikTok’s chief executive, Shou Zi Chew.

    “I want to stress that the US side has not provided any evidence to prove that TikTok poses a threat to the national security of the US,”

    ministry spokesperson Mao Ning also said in defense of the app.

  • Woman Claims She Caught Friend Breastfeeding Her Baby Twice Without Permission

    Woman Claims She Caught Friend Breastfeeding Her Baby Twice Without Permission

    A Malaysian Tiktoker is slamming her friend for allegedly breastfeeding her baby multiple times behind her back, per the NY Post. 

    The woman, who goes by Afieqahhasanah on TikTok, posted a storytime detailing the disturbing incident. The video has now garnered over 2.9 million views on the platform. 

    According to Afieqahhasanah, she had caught on to what her friend had been doing earlier this month at a family gathering.

    “I was busy carrying things, and when I arrived, she asked me for Haider [(the baby)], so I just gave him [to her] because she was someone close to me,”

    explains Afieqahhasanah.

    “Suddenly while I was carrying those things, I saw that she was, like, doing something at the back in an open hall,”

    the mother said.

    “Turns out, she was breastfeeding Haider.”

    Afieqahhasanah said she immediately addressed the woman about the issue and the friend claimed that she only

    “nursed Haider because he was ‘crying,’”

    and she thought the baby was hungry.

    However, Afieqahhasanah could not wrap her head around the woman’s excuse given that she had fed her son a little while before.

    “I couldn’t accept her excuse and I don’t know … I’ll be haunted by this incident,”

    she said. Afieqahhasanah also revealed that her mother had caught the friend playing wet nurse to her son again

    “a little while later.”

    Although wet nurses do still exist, Afieqahhasanah can’t understand

    “which mother [would] accept her baby being directly breastfed by someone else while the mother herself has breastmilk?”

    “It’s difficult for me to trust other people now,”

    she added.

    “I take good care of my children, ensuring that nobody randomly kiss or hug them because I’m afraid of them getting infected by diseases.”

  • Teacher Fired After Filming Rauncy TikTok Dancing Videos With Students

    Teacher Fired After Filming Rauncy TikTok Dancing Videos With Students

    A teacher, Cibelly Ferreira, has been terminated after reportedly doing inappropriate dances with her students and uploading videos of the performances to TikTok. The Brazilian teacher teaches English across the globe as her most recent class was being taught at an unidentified school, reports Milenio. In an effort to engage her class, she started dancing with her students in the class. The videos she posted began to gain much traction, as she now has over 9 million followers on TikTok and over 1 million followers on Instagram. 

    Milenio reports that the teacher said,

    “One of my students invited me to dance with him, and the class really enjoyed the interaction. After that, the other students began to ask questions, too, and I took advantage of the interaction and interest of the students to apply my classes with more quality, because the students are more interested and excited.” 

    The teacher continued,

    “I know how difficult it is for younger students to focus their attention on teaching versus social networks and technology… I can take advantage of their interest and bring them closer to teaching.” 

    Although many people enjoy her content, the teacher has been called out for her classroom attire alongside a host of other things. Some people point out that her actions in the classroom aren’t appropriate, which reportedly led to her termination. According to the New York Post, the teacher also has an OnlyFans and Pornhub account. 

    “As an adult woman, who needed extra income, I looked for other forms of monetization. My mother, for example, knows this and accepts it very well. Even every woman should feel free and fulfilled with her body,”

    the woman told Milenio. Reports went on to say that the woman has a degree in Biology from the Federal University of Lavras in Brazil and has previously won several awards in mathematics.  

    “The school gives me a safe and stable place. However, my content on social networks pays me much more,”

    Ferreira confessed.

  • TikToker Claims She Got Ringworm’s All Over Her Face After Sharing Makeup Brushes with Friends

    TikToker Claims She Got Ringworm’s All Over Her Face After Sharing Makeup Brushes with Friends

    A TikTok user from the UK has gone viral after revealing that she suffered a ringworm outbreak all over her face after not cleaning her makeup brushes right after her friends used them, NY Post reported. 

    Louaira Dela Cruz, 22, documented the horrifying experience on TikTok, sharing several updated videos and warnings to viewers about the disastrous incident.

    “I don’t know what it is and doctors don’t know what it is, but — trigger warning — this is what’s been going on,”

    Dela Cruz said initially when she recorded the rashes on her face. 

    “That is ringworm. How do the doctors not know that? Wow!”

    one TikTok user commented under the post. Two days later Dela Cruz returned to TikTok with an update confirming that the red circular rashes on her face were indeed ringworms.

    “Skin update… I know sharing is caring, but you best believe I’m not letting anyone touch my makeup brushes or sponges ever again, because this is ringworm,”

    she stated.

    Ringworm is caused by a fungus that can cause irritation to the skin, including itching, redness, and circular rashes that can spread if left untreated. According to the CDC, ringworms can be spread through environmental circumstances or by sharing towels, bed linen, and other personal items.

    On Thursday Dela Cruz shared another update with the caption,

    “Hopefully the worst of it has passed and now just healing.”

    Seemingly excited about her recovery, Dela Cruz has shared that she has learned her lesson from this experience and will not be sharing her makeup brushes with friends again.

    “I feel like we’re in the recovery process,”

    she said.

  • St. Louis Family Is Worried After Hammer-Wielding Woman Seen Making Racist Remarks Is Released From Police Custody

    St. Louis Family Is Worried After Hammer-Wielding Woman Seen Making Racist Remarks Is Released From Police Custody

    Members of a St. Louis family are fearing for their safety after a hammer wielding woman who has been harassing them, threatening them, and yelling racist remarks at them for over a year has been released from jail and placed under house arrest, NBC News reported.

    In the beginning of last year, Judy Kline attempted to break into the house of Fatima Suarez. Video footage captured the 54-year-old yelling into the camera, and using a hammer to try to force her way in. Inside the home at the time of the attack was Suarez’ father and her 4-year-Old sister. Kline was arrested that day and charged with aggravated burglary and property damage, but the case was never pursued. Due to never being held accountable for the bizarre attacks, Kline returned to the Suarez home more than five times. Footage from the ring camera showed Kline attempting to pick the front door lock in February and even stealing mail in March last year.

    Frustrated, Suarez took to social media, and posted the videos to TikTok. After going viral, police finally began to take action. Even after receiving public pressure, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department has released Kline from jail and placed her under house arrest. Due to her last behaviors, the Suarez family doesn’t believe the charges will be enough.

    We’re stressed,” Fatima Suarez, 22, said in a TikTok post. “I don’t agree that they allowed her to be on house arrest because she clearly, she showed and she even said that she’s going to come back.”

    According to public records, Kline was affiliated with the family’s home in the 1990s, then was deemed “incapacitated/disabled” years later and placed under guardianship and conservatorship. Now, she’s been instructed to stay at her home with a GPS monitoring device with exceptions for medical, religious, and court purposes.

  • Seattle Man Sentenced To Over 46 Years In Prison After Fatally Shooting Tenants And Stuffing Their Bodies Into Suitcases

    Seattle Man Sentenced To Over 46 Years In Prison After Fatally Shooting Tenants And Stuffing Their Bodies Into Suitcases

    A Seattle landlord who murdered two of his tenants, dismembered them, and dumped their remains into the ocean, was sentenced to more than 46 years in prison, Fox 13 Seattle reported.

    On June 19th, 2020, a group of teenagers noticed suitcases that had washed up on Alki Beach in Seattle, Washington. When the teens approached them, they were hit with the smell of decomposing bodies, and they immediately notified authorities. After deputies from the King County Sheriff’s Office arrived, the suitcases were opened, and human remains were discovered. Three days later, deputies found another suitcase in a nearby waterway containing more the same.

    The remains were identified as that of 35-year-old Jessica Lewis and her partner 27-year-old Austin Wenner. According to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, the couple had died from multiple gunshot wounds June 9th, ten days before their remains were discovered.

    A thorough investigation led detectives to 64-year-old Michael Dudley, the victims’ landlord. Though police never located the murder weapon, the suitcases containing the remains of Lewis and Wenner were later determined to have belonged to Dudley. His cell phone data also placed him near the vicinity of Alki Beach the day before the suitcases were discovered.

    After being found guilty of two counts of second-degree murder in December of last year, Dudley has finally been sentenced to 560 months in prison.

    “We will not let this monster take away our lives too,” Wenner’s mother said after learning Dudley’s fate. “We are going to go on in Austin’s memory and Jessica’s memory.”

    TikTok User Killed In Car Crash Days After Posting About Never Getting In An Accident

    A Florida 18-year-old, who boasted on TikTok that she had never got into an accident, died less than a week later from a head-on vehicle collision, the New York Post reported.

  • Teacher Quits Her Job in the Middle of Class, Students are Being Urged to be Kinder

    Teacher Quits Her Job in the Middle of Class, Students are Being Urged to be Kinder

    A teacher seemingly fed up with her students is going viral on TikTok after she is seen packing up her belongings and walking out in the middle of class.

    The 28-second clip captioned

    “They made the teacher leave”

    has made it rounds on TikTok with users defending the teacher’s actions. It is unclear what lead to the teachers breaking point but you can hear the woman saying,

    “People are laughing. I’m gonna go. I don’t even care if I don’t get paid today. I’m just a stupid old white lady, that’s all.”

    The students can be heard in the background encouraging the teacher to stay but she continues to pack her stuff. She tells the class to continue to do whatever they pleased and that it no longer concerned her. She is heard telling the students that it didn’t matter what she said, they would do whatever they wanted anyway.

    At the end of the video the woman is seen storming past her students who shouted

    “whoa”

    in an attempt to stop her, but she continued toward the door and said,

    “I’m walking. I’m walking right out the door.” 

    Many users came to the teachers defense. One user created a reaction video where he touched on the

    “low wages”

    teachers receive for the amount disrespect they endure.

    “Yes, it could be attributed to the low wages that they get paid. But it also has to do with the fact that these kids have not home training,”

    Clay commented.
