People at Meta thought TikTok was better.

The paper is from February 2022. It shows talks from Meta leaders. They talk about Facebook and Instagram's plans. In one talk, Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook is not strong now. He says TikTok is good because friends can see the same popular things.

Mosseri said Facebook is not number one now. Maybe YouTube is number one. He thinks TikTok will be bigger than YouTube later.

Mosseri said, "We want Facebook to be a place to find new things. But TikTok has only videos and is much better than us." "I think they help more people use social media on their phones." "They also take people who watch TV and Netflix."

TikTok is very popular. People watch it more than YouTube.

This week, Netflix added a new feature to their phone app. It is similar to TikTok. You can watch short videos there. Netflix suggests videos that you might like.

But in court, the U.S. government says Meta broke rules. It bought Instagram and WhatsApp. It made a very big social network. This paper could hurt the case. It shows Meta bosses talked. They said TikTok was much better than Facebook.

Zuckerberg said many people use Facebook, but they don't use it for a long time now.

He said TikTok helps people feel connected.

It is social because you can share things with friends easily. This is good for Facebook.

Other managers also gave their opinions.

Will from WhatsApp said if you write on a TikTok video you like, TikTok will show you and others the same videos later.

Stan from Meta said other companies were taking their customers.

He said adding new things is not enough. People use many other apps. He said people use apps like TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube.

John from the company said TikTok is very good at short videos and tools. He thinks Meta can be good too if people put their videos on Reels.

But he wasn't sure if Meta was behind in tech and making tools. A paper shows Meta thinks Facebook is not number one in social media.

Other papers in court show Meta was afraid of other companies. Mark Zuckerberg said last month that TikTok was a problem for Meta.
