Facebook\u2019s parent company, Meta, has been paying one of the most prominent Republican consulting firms to run a nationwide campaign to sow distrust about one of the company\u2019s top competitors, TikTok, according to a new report from The Washington Post<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The firm, Targeted Victory, reportedly planted op-eds and letters to the editor in major local and regional newspapers across the country. A Targeted Victory director told staff that the firm needed to \u201cget 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,\u201d according to emails obtained by The Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n
