TikTok's popularity in the United States "pierced" whose heart?

In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of itself, users and employees, on August 24 local time, TikTok submitted a 39 page indictment to the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, accusing the US government of violating the administrative order issued recently in connection with TikTok and its parent company's ByteDance.
The day before that, the American media had revealed that Facebook CEO Zuckerberg had helped the US government hunt TikTok.
TikTok is so popular that it stands out in the American social media market.
Who is it? △ The Wall Street Journal exclusive report screenshot The Wall Street Journal published an exclusive report entitled "Facebook CEO Zuckerberg Raises Washington's Fear of TikTok" on August 23 local time.
It is reported that Zuckerberg made a speech at Georgetown University in Washington last autumn talking about "freedom of speech", but at the same time, his other plan is to warn against threats from Chinese technology enterprises.
Specifically, it is the threat from the popular TikTok.
According to the report, Zuckerberg said that "TikTok is not as committed to maintaining freedom of expression as Facebook, and represents a threat to American values and technological advantages".
The report also quoted sources as saying that at a private dinner at the White House at the end of October last year, Zuckerberg had proposed to President Trump that the rise of Chinese Internet companies threatened the commercial interests of the United States, and it was more important to deal with this matter than to regulate Facebook.
△ Trump received Zuckerberg on September 20 last year and reported that Zuckerberg had discussed TikTok with several senators since September last year.
In late October last year, Senate Tom Cotton and Chuck Schumer wrote to US intelligence officials to request an investigation of TikTok.
Shortly thereafter, the US government began to review TikTok on the grounds of "national security".
At the same time, Facebook has also set up a special publicity organization and put advertisements to highlight the contribution of American technology companies to the economic strength, national security and cultural influence of the United States.
The subsequent events have been well known - Trump signed two administrative "bans" against TikTok on August 6 and August 14 this year.
It only took three years for the number of TikTok users in the United States to exceed 100 million.
In the first quarter of this year, TikTok became the mobile application with the highest number of downloads in the world - this reality really made Zuckerberg feel "pierced".
Don't forget, at the antitrust hearing held by the US Congress on July 29, the CEOs of Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook, the four major technology giants, were questioned by lawmakers through video link.
When asked "Do you think China has stolen American technology?", the CEOs of Amazon, Google and Apple all denied it, while Zuckerberg, who calls himself "China's son-in-law", said it was "well documented".
△ The four technology giants were questioned by members of Congress remotely.
However, who is imitating whom? On August 5, Facebook's social software Instagram launched Reels, a short video application, in more than 50 countries around the world.
