US Tiktok ban? American capitalism at its finest

So I think we all know anyone who's on TikTok already knows why The US is talking about banning TikTok. And it has nothing to do with China. It has nothing to do with data being shared with Beijing, and it has nothing to do as much as TikTok creators would like to think so. It has nothing to do with the fact that, there are as many creators who are putting out content and news and information that The US would like people not to have. That that's a thing that does happen, but that has nothing to do with why they wanna ban it.

They wanna ban it because Facebook, because Meta, because Instagram cannot compete with TikTok. Because it's a nice open free market capitalist country, the solution when you can't compete is to make your competitor, illegal, to to ban your competitor. And you have enough money to pay congress and to pay PR firms to malign TikTok and the media to get your way. And now we see the announcement that Facebook is going to stop paying creators for highly performing reels, you know, the little videos that are vertical form format, TikTok duplicates. They're gonna stop paying the creators for highly performing reels, and they made an announcement on Instagram that they're going to return to focusing on pictures, not videos, not the, stories and whatever else, they created to try to compete with TikTok.

That indicates that TikTok will be banned in The US because Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, knows he doesn't have to compete with them anymore. So we'll just revert back to our old way. So so much for the private sector driving innovation.
