TikTok pocketing profits of refugees begging, according to investigation

Published

on

A new BBC investigation has found refugee families in Syrian camps are begging for donations on TikTok

With the social media giant pocketing up to 70 per cent of the proceeds

Children are livestreaming on the social media app for hours, pleading for digital gifts with a cash value.

BBC also found that the trend was being facilitated by so-called “TikTok middlemen”, who provided families with the phones and equipment to go live.

The BBC saw streams earning up to $1,000 an hour

but the investigation found refugees received only a tiny fraction of that.

The company said this type of content was not allowed on its platform, and it said its commission from digital gifts was significantly less than 70 per cent

Nvidia’s EDEN AI models for gene editing could revolutionize treatment of genetic diseases, enhancing DNA modifications amid healthcare advancements.


Nvidia has introduced revolutionary AI models for programmable gene insertion at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.

The AI platform, EDEN, is designed to enhance DNA modifications and could pave the way for treatments of previously untreatable genetic diseases.

This initiative is part of Nvidia’s broader push into healthcare, including a $1 billion partnership with Eli Lilly to develop an AI-driven drug discovery lab. Early testing has shown promising results, with models designing proteins that precisely target disease-related sites in human cells.

While the breakthroughs are significant, experts caution that challenges remain in translating AI-generated therapies into real-world clinical applications. The future of medicine could be rewritten if these hurdles are overcome.

Global memory chip shortage raises electronics prices; impacts PCs, smartphones, and likely continues until 2026.


A severe global shortage of memory chips is sending shockwaves through the electronics industry, causing prices to rise across consumer devices. Experts warn that this shortage will continue until at least 2026, affecting everything from PCs to smartphones.

Major manufacturers, including Samsung Electronics, have reported record profits but caution that rising memory chip prices could put further pressure on the sector. This shortage is largely driven by AI technology demands, forcing companies to rethink production priorities.

Consumers should expect higher costs for electronics in the coming months, with price increases likely to continue through the end of 2026.
