TikTok, Meta, Reddit: Social media recap as Trump returns to office

He notes the combined market cap and collective active users on platforms like Reddit (RDDT), Snapchat (SNAP), Alphabet's YouTube (GOOG, GOOGL), and Meta Platforms' Facebook and Instagram (META). Smith reviews a variety of social media news, especially after TikTok's US operations were restored early Monday.
