TikTok is doing its part to help out during the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic by pledging $375 million to relief efforts.

As one of the biggest apps on the planet, TikTok has the platform and the revenue to make a real difference. According to a report from The Verge, the pledge includes $250 million in funds, $100 million in ad credits, and $25 million in ad space.

Previously TikTok shared in a statement:

We can only stop this virus with a coordinated, global response, where everyone – from every sector – is doing their part. TikTok’s extraordinarily generous contribution to the World Health Organization’s global effort is a perfect example of that. Now is the time for all individuals and companies to come together and fight this virus – because the case for cooperation simply couldn’t be clearer.

This will help NGOs, health authorities, and local authorities to deliver necessary health information, with organizations including Health Heroes Relief Fund, Community Relief Fund, and more.

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
