TikTok is bringing Amber Alerts to the For You feed, the platform  just announced via blog post . It has teamed up with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) to bring these alerts to users and to “leverage the power of the US TikTok community” to help reunite kids with their families. The social media platform started experimenting with this functionality last year, with a pilot program in Texas.

When Kanye continued to speak about Iggy, including the celebrities she has dated and saying that he intentionally didn't sleep with her out of respect for Carti, she fired back.

The rapper’s comments, in which he referred to the children as mentally disabled, sparked immediate backlash online. While Kanye later deleted the tweet, he admitted that his decision wasn’t driven by remorse but rather by fear of his account being suspended. "I didn’t take it down because I’m a good person," he stated, "but because of the POSSIBILITY OF MY TWITTER BEING CANCELLED." Now, Kanye is framing his resentment as a sense of betrayal, revealing more about his feelings in a series of new tweets. "I LOVE JAY Z AND I DO FEEL BAD. I ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE BLACK SHEEP. LIKE I WANTED FAMILY IN THIS MUSIC S*. I’D RUN ON STAGES THINKING I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING AND WOULD ALWAYS BE A SLIGHT."** He continued, referencing multiple grievances, including Jay-Z choosing Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl over him a...
