TikTok Ban: Great for Meta and Google, OK for Snap and Bad for Oracle -- WSJ

If TikTok actually gets banned in the U.S., expect the benefits to mostly accrue to those who need them the least.The House passed a measure over the weekend that would require either the divestiture or ban of the Chinese-owned social media app within a year.

Both companies operate short-form video platformscalled Reels and Shorts respectivelythat are TikToks biggest competitors
