Naija Tech News August 7 news According to BuzzFeed News, social giant Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees on Thursday that banning TikTok overseas in the United States would create “a very bad long-term precedent “ .
Donald Trump has threatened to block the application in the United States unless an acceptable company acquires the application. Zuckerberg talked about the “extreme situation” of TikTok at the Facebook all-hands meeting. He said:
“I just think this is a very bad precedent. No matter what the solution is, it must be treated with extreme caution and seriousness .” “I am really worried… This is likely to have long-term effects on the rest of the world.”
It is worth noting that IT House previously reported that Facebook’s Instagram recently launched TikTok’s clone product Reels in the United States.
Last month, in a hearing with members of the House Antitrust Subcommittee, Zuckerberg supported TikTok because it explained why Facebook did not constitute a monopoly. Zuckerberg said:
“The most popular messaging service in the United States is iMessage. The fastest growing application is TikTok. The most popular video application is YouTube. The fastest growing advertising platform is Amazon. The largest advertising platform is Google. “
