"TikTok has become accustomed to Facebook and Instagram stealing its cool new features and video formats. So, it’s a refreshing change to see TikTok pilfer one of Meta’s innovations." https://www.adexchanger.com/online-advertising/tiktok-adds-third-party-cookies-to-its-pixel-and-tries-to-eat-facebooks-lunch/

@afrangry yes, and they are just copying Facebook, like every big ad platform…
