TikTok, Meta and the Middle East: Social media shifts in the US and what they mean for the region

from Business Extra · host The National

It’s been a busy few weeks in the world of tech, with big names such as TikTok, Meta and X making moves in terms of policy and business models. Changes were announced as huge political shifts took place in the US – the start of President Donald's Trump's second term, being one – and some of them were moments for the history books. The timing is no coincidence. This episode of Business Extra hears a breakdown of these developments and explores the business motives driving them, both in the US and right here in the Middle East, with insights from our reporters and former insiders at Twitter and Meta.
