Short answer - No.
People have to realize acquiring a large company like Tiktok isn't an easy process neither can it happen overnight. This isn't like sneaking out in the middle of the night for a stealthily pie and a big gulp or w/e
It's a long process that happens over months before money exchanges hands much less assets changing hands. That would include content moderation practices as well - your not the new owner until the process is complete. Much of this process is publicly documented by law.
Longer answer - Probably not (like 98%)
- If acquiring a company above $120 million you are required to file with both the FTC and the DoJ
- You then wait a specific period , the follow the process set out by HSR Act
- You can file an early termination notice which has to be approved
- Nothing has been filed with either FTC , DoJ or SEC about Facebook acquiring Tiktok (Tiktok has been valued between $9-20 Billion)
- The FTC are currently suing Meta/Facebook. For their Instagram and Whatsapp acquisitions
- There was a lull in the case but you know what would fire it right up ? Credible evidence Meta is making *another* acquisition in the social media space.
