Meta Execs Mark Zuckerberg And Susan Li Tread Lightly On Impact Of TikTok Ban Or Sale: 'It Is Just Too Early'
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) executives, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg and CFO Susan Li, were cautious in their response to a question about the potential impact of the TikTok ban or sale on the U.S. social media landscape.
Meta Platforms, Inc.（納斯達克股票代碼：META）的高管，包括首席執行官馬克·扎克伯格和首席財務官蘇珊·李，在回答有關抖音禁令或出售對美國社交媒體格局的潛在影響的問題時持謹慎態度。
What Happened: During the company's first-quarter earnings call on Wednesday, Li responded to a question about the TikTok ban, stating that it was too early to assess its impact on Meta's business.
發生了什麼：在週三的公司第一季度業績電話會議上，李回答了有關抖音禁令的問題，稱現在評估其對Meta業務的影響還爲時過早。
Youssef Squali from Truist Securities directed his question to Zuckerberg saying, "Mark with the upcoming ban or sale of TikTok ending to a lot earlier today, how do you think that will impact the U.S. social media landscape?"
Truist Securities的Youssef Squali向扎克伯格提問，他說：“隨着即將到來的對TikTok的禁令或出售將於今天早些時候結束，你認爲這將如何影響美國的社交媒體格局？”
Squali also asked, "What do you say to people who believe that this is potentially a slippery slope in terms of the government picking up winners and losers?"
斯誇利還問道：“對於那些認爲在政府挑選贏家和輸家方面這可能是一個滑坡的人來說，你會說什麼？”
Zuckerberg decided to not address the question, after which Li responded, "We've obviously been following the events related to TikTok closely, but at this stage, it is just too early I think to assess its impact or what it would mean for our business."
扎克伯格決定不回答這個問題，之後李回應說：“我們顯然一直在密切關注與抖音有關的事件，但在現階段，我認爲評估其影響或對我們業務的影響還爲時過早。”
Why It Matters: The TikTok ban has been a topic of significant interest in the tech industry. After the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate passed a bill that could lead to the ban or sale of TikTok, President Joe Biden signed it into law on Wednesday.
爲何重要：TikTok禁令一直是科技行業非常感興趣的話題。在美國衆議院和參議院通過了一項可能導致禁令或出售TikTok的法案之後，喬·拜登總統週三將其簽署爲法律。
TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew has said that they will fight back. "Make no mistake, this is a ban, a ban on TikTok and a ban on you and your voice," he said in a two-minute video posted to TikTok's main corporate account.
抖音首席執行官周壽子曾表示，他們將進行反擊。他在TikTok主要公司賬戶上發佈的兩分鐘視頻中說：“毫無疑問，這是一項禁令，一項對TikTok的禁令，也是對你和你的聲音的禁令。”
Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly voiced opposition to a potential ban on TikTok, accusing President Biden of aiding Facebook, led by Zuckerberg, in amassing more influence on social media platforms and potentially interfering in elections, to the detriment of Republicans.
前總統唐納德·特朗普一再表示反對可能對TikTok實施禁令，指責拜登總統協助扎克伯格領導的Facebook在社交媒體平台上積累更多影響力，並可能干涉選舉，這對共和黨人不利。

Meanwhile, Wedbush analysts believe that while Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Corp. could be the "likely buyers" of TikTok, but added Meta and Google could emerge as winners. "We would expect Meta to be the primary recipient of redistributed TikTok revenue should the company exit the U.S., with Google the likely number two beneficiary."
同時，Wedbush分析師認爲，儘管微軟公司和甲骨文公司可能成爲抖音的 “可能的買家”，但補充說，Meta和谷歌可能會成爲贏家。“我們預計，如果該公司退出美國，Meta將成爲TikTok再分配收入的主要接受者，谷歌可能是第二大受益者。”
Wedbush's Dan Ives has previously spoken about the potential repercussions of a TikTok ban for large technology firms, calling the situation a "slippery slope" and a "watershed moment."
Wedbush的丹·艾夫斯此前曾談到TikTok禁令對大型科技公司的潛在影響，稱這種情況是 “滑坡” 和 “分水嶺”。
