This Day in History: , U.S. Flag Raised on Iwo Jima.
February 23, 1945.
After taking the crest of Mount Suribachi,
U.S. Marines raised the U.S. flag
to the cheers of American soldiers.
Several hours later when a second and
larger flag was raised, the moment was
captured by AP photographer Joe Rosenthal.
Of the three photos Rosenthal took,
one would win the Pulitzer Prize and
become the most reproduced photo in history.
Three of the six soldiers seen in the photo
were killed before the end of the
Battle for Iwo Jima in late March.
Defeating the 22,000 Japanese defenders
on the tiny island was an important
strategic victory for the U.S.
Only 200 of the defenders were captured alive,
6,000 U.S. soldiers were killed and 17,000 U.S.
soldiers were wounded in the battle

At the time, Universal Music Group said that TikTok only wanted to pay its artists "a fraction of the rate that similarly situated major social platforms pay.".
Ultimately TikTok is trying to build
a music-based business, without
paying fair value for the music, Universal Music Group, via statement.
The music distributor was also concerned
with the fact that TikTok allows
AI-generated recordings on its platform...
... and is creating tools to "enable, promote and encourage" music creation with artificial intelligence.
Universal Music Group believes that this will "massively dilute the royalty pool for human artists.".
But as of April 11, Swift's music
is back on TikTok, CNN reports. .
The development comes ahead
of the release of her newest album,
'The Tortured Poets Department,' on April 19.
However, Universal Music Group's other artists are still not present on TikTok.
It's not clear what terms were met between TikTok, Universal Music Group and Swift
to return her music to the platform
