The USA might be banning TikTok, one of the most used platforms in the country, in the near future.
They took a step closer to banning TikTok on March 13, 2024, when the House of Representatives passed a measure requiring the app’s Chinese creator, ByteDance, to divest from the firm or be removed from US app stores.
The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, commonly known as the TikTok Ban Bill, passed with strong bipartisan support, with 352 votes in favor and just 65 opposed. The Act was transferred to the Senate, where it must be passed before being delivered to the White House.
If the White House signs it, the measure becomes law, and TikTok will be unavailable in the United States. Since then, there has been a lot of backlash from the citizens on social media platforms.
Many have been vocal about condemning the ban, including the controversial social media star, James Charles.
Following the passage of the bill banning TikTok in the House of Representatives, Charles has publicly criticized the hypocrisy of the American political system. He claimed that the bill’s quick passage is a stinging illustration of how politicians’ priorities have been flipped upside down.
After the House approved the measure, he quickly pointed out that legislators had more pressing issues to address than TikTok. He said, “We are starving. People are dying. People are in jail for marijuana [expletive] charges. We are in a war that we should not be in the first place. And TikTok is our most pressing concern? I don’t think so.”
Charles expressed his dissatisfaction with how quickly the TikTok ban is going through Congress, yet other vital measures can become bogged down for years in the gears of the US political engine.
“[It’s] a test to our political system that that bill was introduced like, what, five minutes ago? And it was passed this morning, and now it’s already going to the Senate, whereas there are already all sorts of bills that take weeks, months, years and never get anything done to them,” he pointed out. “It goes to show when someone wants something done it can be done.”

Many agreed with Charles, claiming that even though they did not agree with his actions, they shared the same sentiment regarding the possibility of the TikTok Ban Bill. They praised him for raising an important issue but, at the same time, noted that they would not forgive his past behavior.
Charles’ ability as a makeup artist propelled him to become one of YouTube’s most prominent beauty and fashion experts. However, he lost fan support following a conflict with a former colleague, Tati Westbrook, who publicly accused Charles of attempting to attract a straight mine while being aware of his sexuality in 2019.
In 2021, Charles made news for all the wrong reasons as a 16-year-old boy accused the influencer of mailing him nude photos. The YouTuber also reportedly urged the child to send him explicit texts.
While Charles denied the accusations and claimed to be unaware of the boy’s age, more underage boys came forward with similar accusations and shared screenshots of their alleged conversations online. Later, he claimed that he only texted two of them because he was desperate to be in a relationship.
Since then, Charles has lost a majority of his followers, costing him business deals and even demonetizing his channel for a time.

Lily Allen ‘Happy to be Alive’ After Terrifying Car Accident: Singer’s Porsche Run Off Road by HGV
Lily Allen reveals she is “happy to be alive” after a terrifying car crash involving an HGV.
Pop icon and West End Girl singer Lily Allen has left fans stunned after revealing she was involved in a serious road collision in early January 2026. The singer took to Instagram to share photos of her damaged luxury Porsche, following a frightening encounter with a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV).
While the damage to her vehicle was significant, Allen reassured her followers that she escaped the ordeal physically unharmed—though her signature wit remains as sharp as ever.
“Happy to be Alive”: The Details of the Accident
Sharing the news with her millions of followers on January 19, 2026, Allen posted a series of images showcasing the aftermath of the crash. The photos revealed extensive scraping along the side of her Porsche and damage to the wheel arch, suggesting a side-swipe encounter at high speeds.
In her characteristically blunt style, Allen captioned the update:
“Could have done without an HGV running me off the road but other than that a relatively good start to 2026. Happy to be alive and to not be posting any photos taken in 2016.”
The “four-word update”—happy to be alive—quickly trended across social media, with fans and fellow celebrities flooding her comments section with messages of relief.
Shaking Off 2025: A Fresh Start for Lily
The accident comes at a pivotal moment for the 40-year-old artist. Following her high-profile separation from Stranger Things star David Harbour in early 2025 and her subsequent return to the music scene with the critically acclaimed album West End Girl in October, Allen has been vocal about her journey toward healing and sobriety.
Her mention of “not posting any photos taken in 2016” is a direct jab at the “10-Year Challenge” currently sweeping Instagram, where users compare their current selves to photos from a decade ago. For Lily, 2016 was a notoriously difficult year marked by personal struggles—and she clearly has no interest in looking back.
What’s Next for Lily Allen?
Despite the automotive setback, 2026 is shaping up to be a massive year for the star:
- UK Tour: Her “Lily Allen Performs West End Girl” tour is set to kick off in March 2026, with dates already sold out at the London Palladium.
- Festival Season: She is confirmed to headline several major European festivals, including Lollapalooza Berlin in July.
- Podcast Success: Her hit BBC podcast Miss Me? continues to dominate the charts as she remains one of the most unfiltered voices in British media.
