American Airlines is making sure you can’t escape TikTok

By Trevor Mogg Published August 5, 2021

American Airlines is now flying high with TikTok, giving passengers an easy way to while away 30 minutes of travel time for the princely sum of nothing.

The carrier this week announced that whether you like it or not, half an hour of free TikTok access is just a tap away on your smartphone, enabling you to get your fix of the short-form video app even when you’re hurtling along in a metal tube at 30,000 feet.

In a promotion that launched earlier this week, free TikTok is now available to passengers traveling on American’s narrow-body aircraft equipped with Viasat satellite broadband.

“Customers play the lead role in helping us better understand what content they want during their inflight experience and TikTok is one of the platforms they love on the ground, and we’re thrilled to work with Viasat to give customers free access to TikTok while they’re in the air as well,” American’s Clarissa Sebastian said in a release.

American’s blurb also includes some explanatory notes for those whose lives are yet to collide with TikTok, describing the app as on a mission to “bring joy through short-form videos.” But some of those who first experience TikTok while cooped up in coach may not thank the carrier in the days, weeks, and months (possibly years) that follow, their lives taking a new turn as they burn through countless hours on their new favorite app. Then again, it could mark the first step to becoming a TikTok star.

It’s not clear how popular the offer will prove. If a traveler is looking at two airlines offering a similarly priced flight to the same destination, TikTok could conceivably seal the deal for serious addicts of the popular app. Then again, if flights are for downtime, for disconnecting, for taking a break from all of the many distractions of the online world, then perhaps you don’t want to be faced with the temptation of even more TikTok. Because you just know you’ll cave.

Of course, what American Airlines is hoping is that at the end of your free 30 minutes, you’ll be hopelessly immersed in TikTok, desperate for more, leaving you with no choice but to cough up cash for extended connectivity.

Security or performance? With this AMD vulnerability, you can’t have both

Recently, a cybersecurity researcher discovered a dangerous vulnerability within AMD's Zen 2 processors. Dubbed "Zenbleed," the vulnerability allows attackers to gain access to your computer and steal all of the most sensitive information, including passwords and encryption keys. While this doesn't affect AMD's best processors, it's still a dangerous vulnerability with a wide reach, as it's present in all Zen 2 CPUs, including consumer chips and data center EPYC processors. AMD has a fix on the way, but it might come at a price.

The bug was first spotted by Tavis Ormandy, a researcher working with Google Information Security, who made it public at the end of July. Since then, the researcher has also released a proof of concept code that shows how it works. This, while useful, might help attackers exploit this vulnerability until AMD comes up with a fix.

TikTok sues Montana in bid to overturn statewide app ban

TikTok has sued Montana after it recently became the first state to sign a bill into law that will ban the popular app statewide from January 1 citing national security concerns linked to its Chinese owner.

"We are challenging Montana's unconstitutional TikTok ban to protect our business and the hundreds of thousands of TikTok users in Montana," TikTok said in a statement. "We believe our legal challenge will prevail based on an exceedingly strong set of precedents and facts."

TikTok users sue to overturn Montana’s statewide ban of app

A group of TikTok users has sued the state of Montana in a bid to overturn its plan to ban the app from January 1, 2024.

The complaint was filed on Wednesday evening in the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana just hours after Montana Governor Greg Gianforte (R) signed into law a bill banning the Chinese-owned app over concerns it could impact U.S. national security.
