November 3, 2022: -Shares of U.S. colonial media companies Snap and Meta spiked on the news that a Federal Communications Commissioner added the U.S. government should ban TikTok.
“I don’t believe there is a path mostly for anything over a ban,” Republican Commissioner Brendan Carr says to Axios in a discussion.
Snap shares increased 3.4%, and Meta shares were up 2.2% Tuesday.
The statements from Carr, one of four existing commissioners at the Democrat-led agency, do not necessarily signal which is pending actions against TikTok.
Brendan Carr, FCC Commissioner, talks at the State of the Net Conference.
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) in the Treasury Department reviews the firm’s potential national security implications, which a Chinese company, ByteDance, gives its ownership. And the Department of Justice is leading negotiations over a security deal, The New York Times informed in September.
Concerns over TikTok’s possible security risks are generally bipartisan. Both the Trump and Biden administrations have expressed concerns and reviewed the company’s relationship with its Chinese owner. TikTok has maintained that it keeps U.S. user data outside of China so that it would not have to turn over that data to the government, but U.S. officials have defended their skepticism.
“Commissioner Carr has zero in the personal discussions with the U.S. administration relating to TikTok and appears to view independent of his role as an FCC commissioner,” a TikTok spokesperson said in a statement.
We provide the insights on leaders who are responsible for taking their organization to new heights, all the while bringing together a group of talented individuals.
In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
By late 202, the alarm bells were just starting to ring. Researchers discovered that Russian spies had months earlier burrowed deep into the networks of several U.S. federal networks. The spies, working for Russia’s foreign intelligence service, had first targeted SolarWinds, an IT company whose software helps to remotely manage the networks of thousands of businesses, Fortune 500 organizations and federal government agencies.
