Reference for 【News 100 ｜S20 Day 22】0318 Artificial intelligence (AI) is adding to the threat of election disinformation worldwide. The technology makes it easy for anyone with a smartphone and an imagination to create fake – but convincing – content aimed at fooling voters. Just a few years ago, fake photos, videos or audio required teams of people with time, skill and money. The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill cracking down on TikTok. 周三，美国众议院通过了一项旨在压制TikTok的提案。 If it were to become law, the measure would force the app's Chinese owner to divest its U.S. assets in six months, or face a ban. 如果该提案最终成为法律，将迫使该应用的中国所有者在六个月内剥离其在美资产，否则将面临禁令。 The vote comes a little over a week since the bill was proposed. 此次投票是在该提案提出一个多星期后进行的。 Ahead of Wednesday's vote, Beijing accused Washington of bullying. And there's plenty of opposition at home, as well. 在周三举行投票之前，中方政府指责美方政府的行为是霸凌。并且在美国国内，也有很多反对意见。
