Tik Tok is a Chinese social network that managed to impact the digital market in 2019 in terms of social networks, initially sweeping the Asian country. It managed to bring its capsules and audiovisual services to numerous iPhone and Android in the world.
What in principle turned out to be a social network with music videos, currently its services derive from other content that has generated a great impact on the demand, to the point that it has managed to intimidate the empire of Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook.
As reviewed by the online news blog Mashable, Zubkerberg has made it clear that he has no appreciation for Tik Tok. The reasons are clear: it is growing at a speed that neither Facebook nor Instagram can reach and. In addition, it is at the same level than WhatsApp because it is an application that maintains direct communication between users.
By 2019, Tik Tok has been downloaded more than 738 million times and according to Sensor Tower analysts, the application has surpassed in downloads to Facebook and Instagram. This figure is not very advantageous for Zuckerberg’s social network due to its ineffectiveness in the Chinese market.
Although the creator of Facebook has tried to expand in China’s commercial sector its claims have failed. And for this reason, Zubkerberg offered statements at Georgetown University, where he said that “while our services such as WhatsApp are used by protesters and activists around the world due to strong protection and encryption, in Tik Tok these protests are censored, even in the United States. Is it the Internet we want?”, he says.
