TikTok is a Chinese company and is major competition for Facebook
- ok123456 4y agoNo. TikTok just has a better product compared Facebook.
- bioemerl 4y agoTikTok already teeters on the brink of regulation and isn't a Microsoft or a Amazon that has real weight.
- mike00632 4y agoYou criticized Chinese tech companies for being incubated in a walled garden but then criticize TikTok for being subject to US government regulations in the American market? Shouldn't you also give Facebook the same criticism? The only place where Facebook is still experiencing substantial growth is India where their government banned TikTok. It seems to me like TikTok is the real international competitor.
- pm90 4y agoSorry, what do you mean by "real weight"? They absolutely dominate among Gen-Z, and is catching on mainstream appeal pretty quickly as well.
- bioemerl 4y agoTikTok is social media. Microsoft, apple, amazon, and so on are critical infrastructure. They go away, the lights go out.
