Hello.
We're going to start off this episode of Newscast with a little quiz.
So let's have some quiz music.
Name the top five biggest social media platforms in the world today.
Your time starts now.
Okay, that's enough time.
Here are the top five in reverse order.
In fifth place, it's TikTok.
Fourth place, it's WhatsApp.
Third place, it's Instagram.
In second place, it's YouTube.
And in first place is the daddy of them all, Facebook, with more than 3 billion monthly active users, at least according to the sources that we've interrogated today.
And the reason we're doing that is not just because we miss doing Christmas quizzes, but because we are going to do a big discussion about some big changes at one of the companies that owns three of those platforms, Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, and Threads, which is also in there as well.
And that's because Mark Zuckerberg, the tech entrepreneur, has posted a very interesting video about some changes he is making.
So we'll discuss that on this episode of Newscast, which also is an excuse to remind you that we're now available on the second of those platforms, YouTube, every single day.
So you can watch as well as listen to this episode of Newscast.
