Facebook has a habit of preventing any companies to be their competition. The company has bought WhatsApp and Instagram which were competition for Facebook. However, when this was questioned during Facebook's Cambridge scandal, the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg has told that the reason for purchasing WhatsApp and Instagram was that these companies had a similar vision that Facebook has. Now, Facebook has come up with Lasso, a new viral video sharing app just similar to Tik-Tok (formerly known as Musically).

This time, Facebook did not purchase Tik-Tok but instead, the company created its own viral video sharing app. Lasso includes video editor built-in where users can add special effects to videos that seem better than Tik-Tok.
