The FDIC will require the other banks it insures to pay a special assessment to help pay for at least some of this depositor rescue. The same thing happened after the Banking Crisis of 2008. At that time, the premium was 20 cents for every $100 dollars of domestic deposits.

I also anticipate that the FDIC will recover a decent amount from the sale of SVB's assets. This isn't the typical situation in which the bank is burdened by a substantial portfolio of non-performing loans.

First off, there is proof of algorithm manipulation.

Second, I don’t understand how bringing up China banning Western social media is an argument against banning TikTok in its current state. Why are we playing to a double standard where they can ban our apps but we can’t ban theirs? If China does this because they believe Western social media would manipulate its contests to cause unrest, then they’d have no issue using TikTok to do the same and we shouldn’t allow it.
