According to BlockBeats, TikTok's leadership has communicated in an internal memo that the company intends to continue paying its U.S. employees, even if the U.S. Supreme Court does not overturn the law mandating the sale of TikTok's U.S. operations or banning the app in the country. TikTok currently employs 7,000 people in the United States.

According to Cointelegraph, Meta has announced changes to its fact-checking features on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, confirming that these adjustments will currently apply only in the United States. This decision was communicated in a letter dated January 13 to Brazil's government, clarifying that the independent Fact-Checking Program is being terminated in the US to test and refine a new community notes feature before considering expansion to other regions. The letter was a response to a 72-hour deadline set by Brazil's Attorney General of the Union (AGU) for Meta to specify the scope of the fact-checking feature's removal. This move follows Meta's earlier announcement on January 7, which stated the removal was part of an effort to enhance freedom of expression on its platforms while aligning with corporate human rights policies. The community notes feature, similar to one used by Elon Musk's platform X, aims to balance freedom of expression with security concerns. Meta acknowledged potential risks associated with increased freedom of expression, such as harmful content, and assured that automated systems are in place to address severe violations, including terrorism, child exploitation, fraud, scams, and drug-related issues. Despite these assurances, Brazil has expressed dissatisfaction with the removal of the fact-checking feature. Brazil's Attorney-General Jorge Messias emphasized the country's stringent laws to protect children, vulnerable populations, and the business environment, stating that Brazil will not allow digital platforms to become chaotic or harmful. This development coincides with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's intention to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration to resist foreign governmental pressures on US companies regarding censorship. Zuckerberg is anticipated to attend Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20.

According to Odaily, a report released on Monday indicates that President-elect Trump's second inauguration could be the most militarized in U.S. history. National security agencies have warned that, despite no specific credible threats at present, the inauguration is a potential target for violent extremists. The event may attract individuals, particularly those dissatisfied with the election results, who might view the inauguration as a last opportunity to influence the outcome through violence. A group of intelligence and law enforcement agencies highlighted these concerns in an unpublished threat assessment. Citing U.S. officials, The Daily Telegraph reported that nearly 7,800 soldiers will patrol Washington, D.C., alongside a similar number of police officers to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. The report also disclosed that two FBI field offices, numerous drones, and at least 30 miles of fencing will be deployed to protect Trump and attendees from various potential threats, including global leaders and senior lawmakers from across the United States.

韩国金融委员会金融信息分析院（FIU）计划于 1 月 21 日召开针对 Upbit 的制裁审议委员会。这是由于此前在虚拟资产服务提供商（VASP）更新注册的现场检查中发现了客户身份识别（KYC）义务违规的相关问题。审议结果可能涉及对 Upbit 员工的处分和罚款金额的确定。据了解，FIU 自 8 月底以来一直对 Upbit 进行现场检查，在此过程中至少发现了 50 万至 60 万起涉嫌违反 KYC 义务的案件。这包括即使客户验证的身份证上的姓名或注册号码模糊且无法识别的情况下仍开设帐户的情况。然而，目前尚不清楚这些案件是否真的构成 KYC 违规行为。预计罚款的程度也会根据 Upbit 的解释而有所不同。关键是 KYC 违规与洗钱之间的关系。 业内人士预计，在此次制裁审议后，虚拟资产服务提供商的更新注册流程将逐步推进。Upbit 原定于去年 10 月完成的注册更新因该事件延迟，目前仍在等待处理结果。（etnews）
