C asey Evertsen drove down a suburban Utah street lined with trash bins, speaking into his phone’s camera as he gave a tour of the brightly-colored truck he uses for his garbage can-cleaning business. “If you like seeing dirty stuff get cleaned and watching how cool stuff works, follow along,” he said in the video shared on TikTok. “Let’s clean some bins!” Evertsen’s service, Bin Blasters , had for a whole year struggled to get traction through Facebook and Instagram. So taking a cue from his teenage daughter, he decided to try promoting it on TikTok instead. On his eighth video, just one month in, Evertsen “blew up.” "I went out and just started cleaning bins that day, started on our route, and I look at my phone like an hour later, and there's 17,000 views,” he recalled. “Then it just got in the millions.” … [Read more...] about How A TikTok Ban Would Deal A Blow To Creators, Businesses And The American Economy

Ridesharing giants Uber and Lyft scored a critical legal victory on Monday after a California court ruled that gig companies can continue operating under an independent contractor model. The ruling from the California appeals court overturned a lower-court ruling that said the ballot measure, known as Proposition 22, was illegal. Voters had passed the law in November 2020, though it was later challenged by some gig workers and labor unions.

It allows the companies, which have begun focusing on reaching profitability, to avoid paying costs associated with employees, such as paid time off and health benefits. The companies backing the bill had poured more than $205 million into … [Read more...] about Uber, Lyft win big as California court affirms Prop. 22
