New court filing shows that Meta execs agreed that Facebook was losing to TikTok | TechCrunch
Briefly

Recent revelations from a Federal Trade Commission filing illustrate that Meta's top executives, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram head Adam Mosseri, believe TikTok poses a serious challenge to their platforms. In internal communications, Zuckerberg referred to Facebook as a "challenger" that has lost its momentum, while Mosseri predicted TikTok's rise over YouTube. Data indicates TikTok's average watch time surpassed YouTube's, especially among younger demographics. Concurrently, the FTC's antitrust case argues that Meta's acquisitions have stifled competition, cementing its dominance in social networking.
