TPPA from a USA perspective
It's thought that President Obama has to start moving the TPPA through by about 18 November, if he wants it done in his term. If he's unsuccessful in his 'lame duck' period, Mrs Clinton won't want to go back on her word and do it. At the very least the Grand Old Party looks set to continue the same stonewall tactics as before, so she will be too busy to do anything with it for a couple of years. At which time it will be modified and renamed.
So, for anyone feeling withdrawl symptoms comming on, about this possible two year hiatus, there is the TTIP ttip-leaks.org...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
