In an effort to create a friendly work environment, TikTok has started an internal matchmaking service for employees, giving them a platform to introduce their friends and family members to their colleagues.&nbsp;

The channel, which is known as Meet Cute, is placed on the workplace tool used by thousands of employees of TikTok around the world for video conferencing and document hosting. The platform is also helping people discover a potential romantic partner from among their own colleagues, reports The Guardian.&nbsp;

The platform Meet Cute, which was first reported by Forbes, allows their employees to advertise their family, friends or acquaintances to their colleagues through a feed of posts which show information which is typically seen in dating apps, like a person's height and weight.

The service also lets employees comment on the shared posts and evaluate the people whose information has been shared on the feed. In the introduction of Meet Cute, it states, "The company is not responsible for mediating disputes.”

<h2>Technical bug giving access to ByteMoments to employees across world</h2>

The platform, which has been placed on the intranet forum of the company called ByteMoments, is mostly used by employees based in China. However, the staff across the world use ByteMoments for doing their daily jobs.&nbsp;

A spokesperson, while speaking to Forbes, stated that the Meet Cute function was “specifically designed as an optional offering for mainland China employees” and that a technical bug permitted employees to use the channel in other countries.

The channel has a note which warns that employees should not share the personal information of staff along with a reminder that it is a platform created for introducing individuals who are outside of the company to employees of ByteDance.&nbsp;

ByteDance in China has never tried to hide its attempts to become a matchmaker for employees. The company has introduced internal matchmaking services previously, with one titled the 175 Project.&nbsp;

As per the Chinese language news outlet Tech Planet, other tech platforms like Huawei, Meituan and Alibaba provide matchmaking services or dating forums to their employees.

TikTok employees, who interacted with Forbes, said that the attempt of the company to facilitate matchmaking felt like an “encroachment on personal boundaries”.

TikTok plays cupid: The company offers matchmaking service for staff

US space agency NASA's Landsat-9 satellite will not be alone when it takes out from Vanderburg Space Force Base on Monday; the cargo fairing will have several other passengers.

The mission will send the spacecraft "CuPID" and "CUTE" into orbit to study the immensity of space and the phenomena that exist there.

Aside from the two, two other classified satellites belonging to the US Space Force will be put into orbit.

Both CuPID and CUTE, according to Nasa, are Cubesats, a type of very small research satellite that was relatively affordable to create.

"Both CuPID and CUTE are smaller than microwave ovens, yet they will address issues about vast questions in space from their vantage positions in low-Earth orbit," Nasa stated in a statement.&nbsp;

The CuPID will investigate the Earth's magnetic field's borders to examine how solar energy can penetrate our planet's magnetic barrier, while the CUTE will focus its telescope on planets outside our solar system to see how quickly their atmospheres are leaving.&nbsp;

The space agency said that the launch is scheduled to take place at 2.11pm EDT (11.41pm IST).

The satellite will be launched from Space Launch Complex 3 at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 401 rocket.

Landsat-9 will carry on the history of monitoring Earth's land and coastal regions that began with the first satellite in the series in 1972, according to Nasa.&nbsp;

NASA said in a statement that the rocket will deliver Landsat 9 to its orbit 438 miles above Earth.&nbsp;
