Facebook’s parentcompany, Meta, allegedly spread false information that TikTok is harmful to American society and children.
The Washington Post obtained internal emails that a Republican-affiliated firm called Targeted Victory was spreading misinformation about TikTok by saying that specific harmful trends originated there when they originated on Facebook.
According to reports, one of the emails shows that Targeted Victory aimed to “get the message out that while Meta is the current punching bag, TikTok is the real threat, especially as a foreign-owned app that is #1 in sharing data that young teens are using.”
In several other emails, the company discussed howto convince local news channels that dangerous trends are putting teens at risk and how to push fake narratives.
The Post described the company as “one ofthe largest Republican consulting firms “ in the U.S.
