@yahoofinance: Meta is done taking TikTok’s ad money. Meta began blocking all ads and paid messages from ByteDance on Thursday, including third-party ads that link to TikTok. The ban covers the US, Canada, Egypt, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam. Tensions have been building since Meta agreed to an $18 billion settlement with US states in August that requires new safety features for minors on Instagram and Facebook. Meta has since been pressing TikTok and YouTube to commit to similar changes.
