what's up sunshine I'm KY wire we made
it to the best day of the week Fray but
before we dive into the weekend we've
got one more round of downloading some
knowledge and information into our
brains welcome to CNN 10 your 10 minutes
of news where I tell you the what
letting you decide what to think we
start with a solemn moment in the US as
the nation laid to rest its 39th
President Jimmy Carter on Thursday
former President Carter passed away last
month at 100 years old the longest lived
president in US history after a week of
funeral rights and ceremonies in his
home state of Georgia and later
Washington DC Carter was honored in a
state funeral at the Washington National
Cathedral friends family and public
figures paid tribute to the life and
work of the late president and including
his grandsons Joshua and Jason son of
former President Gerald Ford Steven Ford
former Carter adviser Stuart eisenstat
and Ted mandale son of former vice
president Walter mandale during Carter's
Administration President Joe Biden
eulogized the former president calling
Carter a man notable for his strong
character Biden praised him for his
faith his forward-looking policies as
president and his model post-presidency
work there were musical tributes
throughout the service including a
rendition of Imagine performed by G
Brooks and Trisha Yearwood and the US
Marine Orchestra and Cathedral choir
along with the Armed Forces chorus
honored Carter's Navy experience during
their performance by displaying a naval
officer's hat notable in the audience
were the four living former presidents
Bill Clinton George W bush and Barack
Obama and incoming President elect
Donald Trump it is rare to see This
president's Club so to speak all
together and it marks the first time
since George HW Bush's funeral in 2018
that they have all been together face to
face after the service the former
president's family accompanied him
aboard Air Force 1es Special Air Mission
39 to Georgia where a funeral service
was held at Carter's Church in Plains
his hometown he was then laid to rest on
the property of his home beside his late
wife Rosalyn Mr Carter lived a
remarkable life of service creating a
profound Legacy now to the fate of Tik
Tock in the US which hangs in the
balance ahead of a January 19th deadline
in April President Joe Biden signed a
law that would ban America's most
popular social media platform unless its
owner bite dance sells it as a last
ditch effort by the company to Halt the
ban goes before The Supreme Court today
real people who rely on the platform
have their livelihoods in doubt CNN's
Claire Duffy talks to one such content
creator who's built a community of
millions of followers and shows us what
a ticktock band could mean for the
broader
economy Joanne Molinaro is one of nearly
2 million content creators on Tik Tok
bracing for a potential ban and she's
already feeling the financial effects I
do brand deals as an influencer well
those brands are not willing to spend
dollars right now because they're
terrified oh why would I spend money on
a campaign that's going to just fall
flat on its face in a few days Tik Tok
estimates small businesses would lose
more than $1 billion in revenue and
creators would suffer almost $300
million in Lost earnings in just one
month if the app is banned a Tik Tac ban
would be absolutely catastrophic for the
creators and the small businesses who
rely on it the way most of these
individuals are making money are through
brand deals exclusive to Tik Tok it's
really not coming from Tik Tok itself
it's going to be a huge loss for these
individuals given how big the Creator
economy has become do you see an impact
potentially to the broader economy if
Tik Tok goes away I absolutely do if you
are relying on Tik Tok shop to help your
small business and all of a sudden
you're losing a main outlet for sales
your sales are going to go down which
means now your employees you may
struggle to pay your employees you may
struggle to bring uh Financial income
into your own household so there's going
to be a ripple effect if if Tik Tok is
banned other platforms like Instagram
Facebook and YouTube will likely benefit
content creators are resilient they're
not going to throw up their hands and
say well I'm done right I'm they will
pivot they will pivot to YouTube they
will pivot to Instagram I do believe
there could be a this is just my guess
on on my own 2025 predictions there
could be another social media app
waiting in the wings um from another big
tech
company Pop Quiz out shot what sport
created during World War II as a way for
soldiers to have fun on their downtime
