TikTok won’t implement end-to-end encryption within its messaging service due to the limits that E2E would place on criminal investigations, the platform said in a recent security briefing with the BBC in London.

According to the BBC, TikTok said that message encryption prevents police and safety teams from being able to investigate direct messages.

As per BBC: “It confirmed its approach in a briefing to the BBC about security at its London office — saying it wanted to protect users, especially young people, from harm. It described this stance as a deliberate decision to set itself apart from rivals.”

A federal trade judge on Wednesday cleared the path for refunds on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, applied through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, after the Supreme Court recently struck them down.

In the ruling, Judge Richard K. Eaton of the US Court of International Trade said that US importers who were subject to those tariffs are ”entitled to the benefit” of the Supreme Court ruling.

Eaton also ordered the US Customs and Border Protection — the agency responsible for collecting import duties — to ”liquidate” import entries without regard to the tariffs Trump imposed through the IEEPA, a national emergency law that gives a president broad authority to regulate economic transactions.
