It’s the ultimate war between two social media giants with Meta allegedly paying a political consulting firm to “undermine” TikTok
The Washington Post is reporting that a Targeted Victory campaign was launched to show TikTok as “a danger to American children”.
The CEO of the agency accused of launching the campaign has denied these claims… saying that Wash Post mischaracterised their work.
One spokesperson for Meta says “we believe all platforms, including TikTok, should face a level of scrutiny consistent with their growing success”.
Reporters claim that the campaign sent opinion pieces and letters to editors at several US news outlets.
These articles allegedly promoted dubious stories about alleged TikTok trends that actually originated on Facebook.
