Popular American creators who join Facebook and Instagram might receive up to $5,000 (£4,040) from social media behemoth Meta.
Those who sign up through “third-party social apps” would receive money according to “an evaluation of your social presence,” according to the statement.
Although TikTok isn’t specifically mentioned, the timing seems to indicate that Meta is trying to take advantage of the ambiguity surrounding its competitor as concerns over whether President Trump can find a way to keep it available to US customers persist.
With 170 million users in the US, many of whom depend on TikTok for their livelihoods, many people would be looking for other places to post if the platform vanished.
