Instagram Launches TikTok Clone
Aug.05 — Facebook Inc.’s Instagram photo-sharing app is launching its clone of TikTok in more than 50 countries, a week after CEO Mark Zuckerberg defended the company’s copycat strategies to U.S. lawmakers. Bloomberg’s Sarah Frier reports on “Bloomberg Markets: China Open.”

You can’t copy something that easy to imitate. You could say Tiktok copied Vine first.

I think tiktok is all about music tho. Instagram def copied vine, and forced them out.

tiktok has a more modern format and algorithm than instagram or facebook, and it won’t be able to be easily copied. the usa is mad that a communist country somehow made a better app than them and now wanna cry privacy lol, see Cambridge Analytica

@Swole Papi Facebook whilst they harvest your data to optimise ads, are no where as sinister as what Tik Toks Chinese parent ByteDance could do with your information especially around surveillance. I think many will migrate over swiftly.

Does Instagram infringe copy right?

If tiktock has no right to do business in the US, which might be the case, it wouldn’t matter. That is the bet that Instagram is hedging here.

Hilarious when a Chinese firm, the king of copycats, accused other being a copycat.
