>liz>hi there. well, it's hard to imagine. a life. without tiktok these days, right whether you're on the app or not. it has exploded in popularity since it 1st launched 8 years ago. now it's saying it's not going anywhere without a fight tiktok just found a lawsuit against the biden administration to try to block the new law that could lead to a ban here in the us today. we're looking at the likelihood that that could actually happen and asking about really the wider implications of this. an expert joins us live this half hour to break it all down for us. we'll have that conversation in just a moment. but 1st a look at your news headlines. flames ripped through the roof of a building in oakland. our chopper shows firefighters attacking the fire from the ground roof and a ladder truck. a big chunk of the front of this building is charred and completely fallen apart. the fire broke out along sixth avenue and east eighth street about a block from laney college. no word on a cause or

if anyone was hurt in san francisco, a car struck a 14 year old girl during a police chase. it happened near powell street right outside. francisco middle school. police say the driver struck another pedestrian earlier jones and market and then they took off. they say they tried to stop the driver, but he didn't listen and kept driving recklessly even crashing into other cars. police finally stopped the driver and embarcadero and green and took him into custody. both victims were hospitalized, but they are expected to recover. bicyclist has died after being hit by a truck that ran a red light in san jose. police say it happened this morning on east capital expressway near andrew p. hill high school, police say the driver tried to get away but they took him into custody. also in san jose. police say they responded to several calls about violence and dangerous activity over the cinco de mayo weekend that includes a double stabbing. multiple fights, assaults on patrol officers and drunk driving collisions.

>people always ask. why is it for cinco that we're doing so we don't do it for another parade? well, we noticed that people are coming down here to do these things to take advantage of the fact that we're having all these events and do some did to basically act behave badly. >liz>san jose police made 87 arrests and issued 156 traffic citations over the weekend. they also seized 6 firearms. and we are proud to announce an exclusive partnership with the oakland ballers will broadcast 9 of their home games crews began renovating the field at raymond e. park and installing bleachers for their 4000 seat stadium. the team will play 48 home games there in west oakland this season with no plans to leave the town. >baseball needs to stay in oakland, and it really should be up to people from oakland. whether baseball stays are continues in baseball being such an important fabric of this community. and so we started the ballers to say no matter what they're going to be a team here. >liz>dollars play in the pioneer baseball league, you

can catch friday night games, along with expert analysis and behind the scenes coverage with us on picks, plus the homeowner home opener is on june. 4th. all right on the 1st alert weather now and we are in the middle of a warmup. but along with the warmup comes the wind meteorologist darren peck is keeping an eye on things from our virtual view studio darren >>liz. yes, and some places are going to feel that win more than others across the bay. so let's go in order. we'll talk about that warmup 1st and today we're a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday. you could pick out your part of the bay. that's your tuesday daytime high. we're going to transition this to friday very different looking map. watch the color codes really change and the numbers really go up if you're inland friday is going to be the warmest day, but we really should think about this as thursday friday saturday because all 3 of those days are going to be almost as warm as each other. but friday technically is the peak so just to kind of drive the home. i'm just using friday. here is the example. you'll see how this plays out when we get to the 70 forecast in 1/2 with that in

mind, national weather service is still messaging the heat risk. map. we're going into the moderate category so it could get a lot higher than that. you can see there are 2 degrees of intensity that go above moderate. but this is the 1st time that we're seeing a widespread area of moderate show up. so if you're in the tri valley or even if anywhere along 6 85 80 in the santa clara valley, you're included in that moderate category on friday, so just a little bit of heads up. go easy on yourself. stay aware. stay on top of staying hydrated and finding the shades. you got to spend a lot of time outside. for those 3 days. look at the color code here on this dramatic turnaround from below average, where we have been too well above average that much we know. let's talk about that wind. pattern has shifted. so what we're going to have here are offshore winds that start and you can see that when we watched the wind streams directing those northerly winds through the bay. that's tomorrow. and that's when we've got our wind advisory. and here's is where the difference is coming. it depends on where you are because the northerly winds are really going to be

felt through the sacramento valley and then for the northern half of the bay. so who's got this wind advisory sonoma county? napa county. solano county? and a little bit of moran. included in this and you can see the rest of the bay doesn't doesn't mean it's not going to be windy, still will be noticeably windy. and if we watch the wind speed, you'll see him pick up tomorrow morning. watch the rich tops in the north bay really light up there. and at this through tomorrow morning, which is when we would notice the stronger winds you've got 30 mile an hour gusts going through some of the north bay valleys 20 mile an hour winds for most of the rest of the bay as well. and that should be the peak of it tomorrow in the morning, but it's not the only time we're going to have offshore winds. what's what happens on thursday. you're going to see the offshore winds really do a number in terms of the way air is getting moved through the bay. see that offshore wind right there if we visually see this in a somewhat different way those offshore winds this is the relative humidity. and now you're seeing how we're getting all this dry air that's getting filtered through the bay and so much force taking it

with the offshore winds. you can actually see the dry air getting blown out to sea. it's such a cool vision. realization, but the reason why that's useful is because at least it gives us an idea. this is this is an offshore wind events, the air gets drier. drier air can warm up more. it's also down sloping a bit, too, and that will help warm things up a little bit, so the to do go hand in hand with the winds. if this was fall, we'd be talking about fire weather. but we're not because it's the hills are still green. we're doing okay. let's get into that 7 day forecast so you can see how we kind of stair step up tomorrow. it'll be low 80s if you're inland instead of the mid 70s, and then you can see right here thursday, friday saturday, not a whole lot of difference between the 3 but by sunday there is we will have called back down again. we'll get you back down into the 80s 80 degree range by sunday. all right, liz back to >liz>you, daryn. thank you so much. the future of tiktok hangs in the balance the social media app has more than a bill. million users worldwide and 170 0 in the us alone. but there's

a chance that could all change last month, president joe biden signed a bill that would essentially ban tiktok here in the us unless its parent company, bite dance sells the platform within 9 months by dance could get a 3 month extension if a sale is already in progress, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have long expressed concerns that china was using the app to spy on americans. but as expected today, tiktok and by dance, both sued the federal government to block the law in the complaint that the company's argued that the law is unconstitutional. they say the law blocks free speech and prevents users from accessing lawful information. they also say there is no way bite dance can possibly divest from tiktok for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it would need permission from the chinese government. but the white house reiterated today the president believes an ownership change is necessary.

>do we want tiktok? as a platform to be owned by an american company owned by china? do we want the data from tiktok children's data adults data? to be going to be staying here in america. we're going to china. that is the fundamental question at issue here and the president is clear where he stands. >liz>passed in a 350 to to 65 vote. some of those no votes came from bay area representatives like elkana, he said. we need sweeping data privacy laws, but a bill targeting just 1 company, not a bill targeting just 1 company. and east bay, congresswoman barbara lee said quote while it's undeniable that tiktok's data collection practices need addressing the process behind this particular bill was rushed and done in secrecy. now, this isn't the 1st time tiktok has gone to court with the federal government, the app sued in 2020 over an executive order, then president trump signed the order banning the app. courts blocked the order and the trump administration said they had a

deal for walmart and oracle to take large stakes in tiktok in 2021, president biden signed an executive order directing the commerce department to investigate apps from china and in february of 2023, the white house gave government agencies 30 days to remove tiktok from all federal devices and computer systems now at the time, the ossoff management and budget said the move was aimed at acting u s data. congress has been holding hearings on tiktok for the past 3 years, and a group of tiktok creators rallied outside congress in march, asking them to reconsider this ban. >yeah. i've watched this app do so much more than what is depicted elsewhere. have seen this app raise over $1 million for the american heart association after i went through open heart surgery in may of 2020 during the pandemic when my wife wasn't even allowed to be my my side, this app showed up for her to support her when she couldn't

be by my side. um, this app is so much more than just an app for dumb tiktok dances. so when i hear these elected officials literally mock and make fun of tiktok and it's creators. yeah. disgusted. >liz>and while tiktok and the feds fight over its fate, people's livelihoods hang in the balance coming up. we'll hear from a bay area influencer who tells us how much she stands to lose if the app goes dark and we'll ask a professor from cal state east bay is the potential ban could in fact be considered. unconstitutional? stay with us.

tiktok says there are about 7 million million small businesses on the app that support about a quarter of 1 million jobs, one of the people making a living on tiktok is carol harms amount of harry has more on what the band could mean for her and her 5 staff members in san francisco. >really great. i have >reporter>i just found the coolest speakeasy in the inner sunset coral harms says she's been on tiktok since the beginning. i have been creating content for 9 years now, and it started with instagram. and then when tiktok came on the scene and 2019 i immediately jumped on it. harms makes content about traveling and the city of san francisco often promoting small local businesses. recently, someone

told me they can feel how much i love san francisco through my content >to speed things >reporter>up. in about 5 years. her page at whimsy soul has amassed a following of 350,000. people. more than 7. million people have liked and interacted with her content, but soon all of that could be coming to an end. really annoyed. i'm not gonna lie, tiktok and social media such a great way for people to share ideas and assemble and learn. i know our lawmakers like to pass it off as the silly little app or dances happen and kids hanging out, but my husband learned sour dough that he's speaking right now, but lawmakers are concerned tiktok's parent company, the chinese owned bite dance, could use the app to spy on americans spread misinformation. or so divisions california state east bay professor of media studies. dr nolan higdon. says even free apps come at a cost. one of the the mistakes that a lot of folks make is that they think it is free. you know, you have to give up your privacy. which

is, you know, a huge cost to a lot of folks. yeah. um, everything you do on their everything you create all the time you spend on their that's labor, and you're not paid for it. any sort of wage but meanwhile, the platform profits from it. and harm says that ban wouldn't just hurt her, but her staff she has 5 people working for her and says many other creators also have employees >to upload that >reporter>most of the money she earns is through sponsored content, she says, without tiktok to post it on she'll likely lose 30% of her total revenue might have to cut people we just hired on a new email manager this morning, actually, so i hope i don't have to cancel that. contract, so we'll see >liz>you. and joining me live now is dr nolan higdon, and you just saw him in that story right there. thanks so much for joining with us joining us today. thank >reporter>you for having >liz>me. all right? so what do you think? does tiktok have a case here is the span unconstitutional. >reporter>it certainly seems like they may have a case on

first amendment grounds. certainly the case they're making is that this is, um, an effort by the government to try and silence free speech and free expression, which can be a tough case to to prove, but we've seen the sitting secretary of states and even senator romney of confirmed that in part they're motivated to do this ban because they didn't like some of the information, particularly about gaza. that was on the platform, so there is a case to be made that it seems like the government was more motivated by suppressing information and some of the other arguments that have been given >liz>up a little bit more into this kind of historic nature of this ban because it essentially means national security is taking precedent over free speech. do you think this ruling could have wider implications? >reporter>yeah. you know there. there's a long history of those in power arguing that we need to give up civil liberties or rights in order to secure national security. um, you know, as critics of often

noted, this kind of begs the question, if we're giving up our rights for security, what are we securing, if not our rights, and this has been an age old debate and throughout the united states, and i think this question about the tiktok band is simply just the latest part of that journey and discussion. >liz>some are calling it even the trojan horse for censorship. do you believe in that? >reporter>i do, you know, i think there are legitimate critiques to make about social media and i clearly have made them as well. but it does seem like the motives for this band were less about the problems with social media in terms of mental health or screen addiction and had more to do with trying to suppress information, i think a lot of people in power are, you know quite uncomfortable with these fast protests. particularly by young people, and they blame the content on tiktok. for giving folks the information that motivates them to participate in these movements. >liz>want to get back to that, just a moment? but what about the people who are making a

living off tiktok? do they have a case against the government? >reporter>you know, they may have won, you know, i think this speaks to a larger problem that a lot of critics have been noting for decades. now, a lot of people's livelihood and information base is invested in these private companies. and you know, we we don't have a lot of, you know, democratic. oversight. we don't have a lot of protections in place for people. ah! who are on these platforms, and now the government is coming in saying they can just erase this platform that so many people have used not just for for employment or to sell things. but also to connect with people. you know, we should be reminded that you know, um some, there are some good purposes for social media. i think of maybe young people are trying to find their identity or wrestling with complications. sometimes they can go online to get some of the support. they can't find it at home. um, so it's a complicated question, and i think a band across the entire platform seems quite kind of

draconian given given the other good things that come from the platform >liz>you touched on this earlier now, if this ban goes through, what do you think the residual effects of this are you see a potential for more restrictions on other social media apps, especially when it comes to misinformation. >reporter>yeah. no, i think that's 1 of the things the in the industry is probably quite afraid of, you know, basically for the last 30 or so years, lawmakers have avoided any serious regulation of the industry. this tiktok band is a huge swing in the other direction and 1 has to wonder if this will open up the floodgates for other potential legislation. if the public reacts positively to this ban. will that be a sign the lawmakers of the public is open to other sorts of constraints on these platforms. um, that remains to be seen. but historically, that's how things have gone usually once lawmakers see that the public is receptive to something, then they're willing to go further. >liz>dr. nolan higdon, cal state east bay thank you so much for joining us.

>reporter>thank you. >liz>well, it's not just the feds who are taking on tiktok still ahead. how some states or police in the app all in the name of protecting kids. and a closer look at how tiktok can drive customers to the stores in droves.

now. the problem with social media and not just 2 by the way. is that it? taking a toll. on the mental health of our kids. recent study by the u. s surgeon general found that teens reported spending an average of 3.5 hours a day on social media nearly half of the team said that it made them feel worse about their body image. the study recommended keeping kids completely off social media totally until there are at least 14 years old. >what we know is that age 14 were able to start that process of reasoning. one of the concerns is that if social media becomes prominent, so early in my displace some of those other healthy activities >liz>florida recently banned children under 14 from using social media altogether and a couple of months ago, california's attorney general joined nearly every other state in a brief demanding tiktok

comply with investigations into how social media impact this kid's mental health. we also know that tiktok is a major trendsetter, from people learning dances to their favorite songs or lip sinking to popular movies. remember this earlier this year, there were close to 14 million million posts about colorful bags sold at trader joe's. i still don't understand this 1. but this is video of folks in southern california just warming a display. the user posted radar shine, we're going to get our bags. there were even reports of a $3 totes being resold online for a huge markup today we saw 1 listed for $50. woke for that little bag. and walgreens has reportedly limiting online sales of a gummy candy a glowing tiktok review blew it up in january, causing the product to completely sellout nationwide in just 4 days.

gummy mango candy, huh? interesting must be really good walgreens plans to sell it in more stores beginning may 22nd so it's coming back. and the app has taken off with readers as well. the new york times reports that books featured with the hashtag book talk typically end up on the bestsellers list with more than 161. 0 posts. the most talked about books or romance and fantasy. it's so big that even barnes and noble has a section online and in their stores. dedicated just to books featured on
