In this episode of The Daily Creator, Eric Farber dives into two major stories shaking up the digital landscape and impacting creators: the ongoing battle surrounding TikTok's future in the U.S. and the potential regulatory shifts under the Trump administration that could change the way platforms handle advertising and data privacy.
TikTok's Ongoing Struggles and Microsoft's Potential Acquisition
TikTok's future in the U.S. has been uncertain, with President Trump's administration pushing for a ban. But now, reports indicate that Microsoft might be in talks to acquire the platform. What does this mean for creators who rely on TikTok for exposure and revenue? In this episode, Eric explores how this acquisition could bring stability to the app, change its data policies, and affect creators who have made TikTok their primary platform.
FTC Under Trump: A Shifting Regulatory Landscape
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) introduced new rules during the Biden administration aimed at protecting the data of young users, especially preventing platforms from selling data about those under 13. But with Trump's return to the White House, tech leaders like Elon Musk have already begun lobbying against these rules. Eric breaks down what this means for creators who rely on data-driven advertising to monetize their content. Could a rollback of these regulations lead to more ad revenue—or more privacy concerns?
What Does This All Mean for Creators?
With potential changes to both TikTok's business operations and advertising rules under the FTC, creators must be prepared for a rapidly shifting digital world. How will these regulatory changes impact your revenue streams, your audience engagement, and your ability to scale your business? Tune in to hear Eric's thoughts on what's next and how creators can stay adaptable in the face of these changes.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
