[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 141202, member: 1"] It's great to see you share your initial thoughts on this! When questions ask you to relate a story you are interested in to a law firm, the goal is to see if you can understand what commercial lawyers actually do, and I think the link you made between TikTok's ban and signed contracts with influencers is relevant. Some other ideas: [LIST] [*]Could this lead to [URL='https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/column-if-tiktok-is-banned-brace-epic-first-amendment-fight-2023-03-28/']lawsuits[/URL] for the impact on freedom of speech? Covington & Burling has already [URL='https://www.law.com/international-edition/2020/08/24/covington-burling-tiktok-sue-trump-administration-378-149450/']previously sued[/URL] on behalf of TikTok. [*]How does this relate to the relationship between [URL='https://www.gov.uk/government/news/tiktok-banned-on-uk-government-devices-as-part-of-wider-app-review']protecting national security[/URL] and supporting commercial business? This has been a recurring issue (e.g. Huawei). How can lawyers advise on this relationship? [*]How should technology companies be [URL='https://riskandcompliance.freshfields.com/post/102gfi9/protecting-against-mistreatment-by-foreign-governments-tiktok-and-the-world-of-i']regulated[/URL]? What recourse do they have? [*]How should lawyers advise businesses when[URL='https://www.cliffordchance.com/insights/resources/blogs/talking-tech/en/articles/2020/08/is-the-clock--tik-toking--on-global-data-localisation-.html'] sharing data across borders[/URL]? [/LIST] As you'll see, there are many different directions you could take this, so the most important part is to find the ones that you find interesting (because you'll research it widely and be able to discuss it).
