TikTok has been facing problems lately since government Trump. But according to a Wall Street Journal publication, Facebook was the one that started it all.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Mark Zuckerberg personally briefed President Donald Trump on the Chinese company, during a dinner hosted by the American president at the end of last year.
So Facebook not only "killed" a very fast-rising rival, but according to a representative of Senator Josh Hawley, it used TikTok to take away the caution of lawmakers from the regulatory actions they wanted for Facebook. According to Kelli Ford he was using the issue as a "PR tactic to boost Facebook."
Facebook has a reputation for not wanting to compete, and has historically proven it either by acquiring its rivals or by copying their product. However, Facebook's first attempts to copy TikTok failed completely, and due to greater regulatory control, it became increasingly difficult to acquire the company.
So Facebook, which supports every lobby in Washington, has found a new way to "kill" competition, with TikTok CEO Kevin Mayer reporting that they have suffered "malignancies." attacks from our competitor - specifically Facebook - who disguised himself as a patriot and planned to end TikTok's presence in the USA ".
TikTok currently has until November 12 to sell its US-based assets, with Microsoft seeking to buy the company, after of course receiving the blessings of Donald Trump.
