China on Tuesday said it has removed leading US travel platform <keyword id="172543" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tripadvisor">Tripadvisor</keyword>'s app along with 104 other mobile apps from various online stores in the country as part of cleaning up the internet. Most of the apps that were banned belonged to local Chinese companies but it was not clear why the country blocked Tripadvisor. "As of Tuesday afternoon, Tripadvisor's website was still accessible in China," reports CNN. The Cyberspace Administration of China said in a statement that it had removed 105 apps it considered to be "illegal," including the US travel giant. Chinese regulators were quoted as saying that the removed apps were the first of many that would be taken down in a wide-ranging "clean-up" of online content related to illegal activity, including obscenity, pornography, prostitution, violence, fraud or gambling. However, some media reports linked the action on TripAdvisor to US and its ongoing exercise to ban TikTok which is owned by China-based Bytedance. A judge in the US has granted a preliminary injunction barring the US Commerce Department from putting restrictions that it had planned to impose on short video-sharing platform TikTok. The order on Monday came in response to challenge to the Donald Trump administration's executive order on August 6 that would have barred US companies from doing transactions with the Chinese parent company of TikTok, ByteDance, The Verge reported.

According to a report in The Wall Street Journal citing a memo, thousands of video games face removal as Beijing tightens control of Internet. Apple said in the memo that developers of premium games and those featuring in-app purchases "would have until the end of the year to provide proof of government license or the app would be removed". According to data from app research firm Sensor Tower, Apple has removed thousands of apps from its Chinese online store, including at least 94,000 games. According to an August report in The Information, China may be closing the loopholes exploited by Apple in previous years, "starting with the recent removal of thousands of apps from the Chinese App Store". China is Apple's biggest App Store market, with sales of $16.4 billion a year, according to data from Sensor Tower. In the US, the figures are $15.4 billion a year. Earlier this month, China removed leading US travel platform Tripadvisor`s app along with 104 other mobile apps from various online stores in the country as part of cleaning up the internet. Most of the apps that were banned belonged to local Chinese companies but it was not clear why the country blocked Tripadvisor. Chinese regulators were quoted as saying that the removed apps were the first of many that would be taken down in a wide-ranging "clean-up" of online content related to illegal activity, including obscenity, pornography, prostitution, violence, fraud or gambling.

A warning label reminding people it is "associated with significant mental health harms for adolescents" could help the problem, he argued.It's not something Murthy can install on his own. The labels would require congressional approval. And <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/surgeon-general-warning-label-social-media-teen-health-2024-6">Murthy's comparison to cigarette warnings might be misplaced</a>, writes BI's Katie Notopoulos, who suggests explicit lyrics on music might be a better fit.Murthy has taken shots at social media before. Last year he called for legislation to protect young people from harassment, abuse, and exploitation, and more transparency from tech companies.Major social media companies remained largely silent regarding Murthy's suggestion, but the tech lobbying group Chamber of Progress was quick to respond."Putting a warning label on online speech isn't just scientifically unsound. It's at odds with the constitutional right to free speech," group CEO Adam Kovacevich said in a statement.Vote here to let us know <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScSjALurfMLlW0rgR0FDBvP1ASufbe6EyBPOHWwh_1C4ZaWoQ/viewform">whether you favor a warning label</a>.<div type="image" title="warning label with red background" height="900" width="1200" msid="111088031" hostid="261" sizebytes="74838"></div>Murthy's recommendation comes at a unique time for social media.If the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-ban-bytedance-lawsuit-us-government-free-speech-national-security-2024-5">US ban on TikTok can survive the courts</a>, it will be a watershed moment for the industry. (Yes, TikTok's ties to China muddy the waters, but a successful ban would still mean lawmakers shutting down a popular app used by millions of Americans.)It's not just TikTok. Generative AI adds more fuel to the misinformation fire social media platforms have been battling for years.AI tools make it easier for bad actors to fabricate stories, images, and videos that can influence people. And it's all happening in the lead-up to a contentious presidential election. There are also concerns surrounding <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-getting-into-murky-business-of-ai-generated-creator-ads-2024-6">AI-generated avatars' impact on influencers</a>, writes BI's Dan Whateley.And yet, things have never been better for some companies.Meta, the godfather of social media, is perhaps the best example. On January 31, CEO Mark Zuckerberg, along with a handful of other tech CEOS, was grilled by Congress during a hearing on online child sexual exploitation.At one point, Zuckerberg was pressured to physically stand up and face families <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-meta-faced-families-online-child-safety-senate-hearing-2024-1">affected by online abuse</a>. In the long battle to force tech CEOs to get their companies in line, it <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-senate-hearing-child-exploitation-social-media-law-2024-1">felt like a potential turning point</a>.More than four months later, though, the only thing that's seemed to change is Meta's stock price. The company's share price is up more than 28% since that contentious hearing.<h2 id="ad3eab13-2845-438f-9ac5-3578a3bc31f9">3 things in markets</h2><div type="image" title="man" height="750" width="1000" msid="111088027" hostid="261" sizebytes="46578"></div><ol><li>How one hedge fund got off to a booming start this year.
