TikTok's loss, Facebook, Instagram's gain! Check how Meta is soaring
Facebook, Instagram-owner Meta Platforms hit a record high on Friday after a U.S. appeals court upheld a law requiring China-based ByteDance to divest its popular short video app TikTok by early next year or face a ban.
The decision is a devastating blow to ByteDance, whose social media app is used by 170 million Americans. It affirmed a law, which was passed by Congress with bipartisan support and signed by President Joe Biden, that gives the U.S. government sweeping powers to ban other foreign-owned apps that could raise concerns about collection of Americans' data.
TikTok and ByteDance had argued that the law is unconstitutional and violates Americans' free speech rights.

Meta Platforms shares rose to an all-time record high of $629.78, and were last up 2.7 per cent at $625.37. Meta's social media platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, compete with TikTok for users and advertising.
