Good point, the only way for 'Meta' shares to go up and for investors to have some confidence in 'Meta' is by Tiktok being banned in US (and other western countries like EU, Canada etc).
Automatically, the advertising money which was to go to Tiktok will go to Instagram (via Reels).

The end goal isnt protecting US citizens. It's weaponizing information to use against perceived threats, both foreign and domestic.
If I were Snapchat I would be making moves to jump at this opportunity. I feel they're positioned the best to take that market share out of all of the current competitors, for the simple fact they've kept their core UI & model virtually unchanged.
