...has tiktok been official bought by meta or

One of the main reasons why I'm asking other than what people were saying about meta being on tiktok now. Recently in the past month every other comment, with no curse words or anything offensive is constantly being flagged! One thing i observed about Facebook is their annoying flagging system. They'll allow racist or hateful bigots create posts and comments. Even seems as if they'll promote the posts even. But any comment that's a reaction against those posts are automatically flagged. Say the word "hell" Flagged.

Facebook is mentioned in the terms and conditions for TikTok

It hasn't been bought, China would not give their algorithm secrets to US or anyone tbh.

TikTok is now on meta servers but "doesn't own it" they say that they are "sharing server space" but in no way "own it"

No, they legally would have had to make it publicly known if TikTok was being sold

They haven’t.

We wouldn’t be using the same algorithm because bytedance said that they would not sell TikTok with it’s current algorithm to an American company

No, and it's probably not going to be.

You could have googled this on your smartphone. Media literacy is at an all time low.

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.

Google says no one has bought it yet
