Trump Removes Racist Video; EU Targets TikTok

Donald Trump removed a social media video containing a racist clip depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, while the European Union demanded that TikTok alter its "addictive design" or face substantial fines. These developments, along with other news, dominated headlines on Wednesday.

The video, which Trump shared on social media, included the offensive clip at the end of a 62-second video addressing voter fraud claims in the 2020 presidential election, according to BBC World. Republican Senator Tim Scott, who is black, called for the president to remove the post, describing it as "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House." The White House initially defended the clip as an "internet meme video," BBC World reported.

Meanwhile, the EU has ordered TikTok to modify its platform's design, citing breaches of online safety rules. The European Commission's investigation, which began in February 2024, found that TikTok did not "adequately assess" how features like autoplay could harm users, including children, and failed to implement measures to mitigate the risks, according to BBC Technology and BBC Business. A TikTok spokesperson told the BBC the findings were a "categorically false and entirely meritless depiction of our platform" and that the company planned to challenge them.

In other news, emails from the Epstein files revealed new details about Prince Andrew's relationship with financier David Rowland. The emails showed Andrew referring to Rowland as his "trusted money man" to Jeffrey Epstein, according to BBC Business. The emails also indicated Andrew's attempts to promote Rowland's financial ventures while he was the UK's trade envoy.

Additionally, the CEO of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, Sam Altman, faced criticism for his online attack on a rival chatbot firm over its Super Bowl ads. Altman's lengthy post on X, calling Anthropic "dishonest" and "deceptive," was met with ridicule, with some commenters comparing it to a "toddler throwing a tantrum," according to BBC Technology.
