There is this TikTok clip suggesting that the currently ongoing TikTok Senate hearings are a result of media campaign paid for by Meta because they could not compete.

If this is true, why cannot they compete with TikTok? I know there are YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. Why don’t they do as well?

    Every politician linked to the tiktok ban invests in facebook and google.

    Every single one of them.

    I know this doesn’t add much of value to this thread, but fuck it needs to be said more. It’s not about any of the things they’re talking about, the ban is for money.

    Also the ban (as i understand it) isn’t so much about tiktok, but is moreso a ban on anything the government doesn’t like in the digital & tech sectors. I.E. a legal means to push out foreign and startup competition so the monopolies can make bigger profits.
