FACEBOOK RELEASES ITS SECOND ATTEMPT TO COPY RIVAL TIKTOK BY LEVERAGING INSTAGRAM’S POPULARITY
During THIS season of the Chris Collins Show – Venezuelan activist Elizabeth Rogiliani and Justin Bernardez discussed their rise to stardom on Tik Tok.
With more pressure from the U.S. government to ban the social media platform from the American people – Instagram has introduced a similar feature hoping to attract the youth.

Instagram launched its short-form video feature – Reels – on Wednesday to compete with the rapidly-growing Tik Tok.
Instead of operating as a separate app, Reels can be found within the Instagram app itself by selecting “Reels” at the bottom of the Instagram camera.
Reels allows users to create 15-second clips, like Tik Tok, and share them publicly or with friends within the Instagram app.
The editing software operates much like Tik Tok as users can overlay audio, select augmented reality effects and upload video clips in a similar manner.

Microsoft has since emerged as the leading candidate to take over the bulk of Tik Tok and could conclude talks within three weeks, CNBC’s David Faber reported Wednesday.
