    Facebook’s egregious behavior (Cambridge analytica) and their most extreme of all data collection makes TikTok look look like nothing.

    TikTok has been investigated 20 times the rest and little bad behavior was found – assuming you accept what’s done today as acceptable, which I don’t.

    People hate TikTok because of trumped up stories in the media.

    Notice that NOT ONE SPECIFIC ACCUSATION has been lodged against the company.

    Now I sound like I’m defending them. Just the opposite – condemning the bullshit and racist stories.

    Downvote me all you want, but I dare you to find one thing that TikTok does that’s as bad as American companies. And post it here.

      Facebook has been actually selling data to the Chinese government for a decade. Congress just keeps politely asking them to stop. But nobody wants to report on that.
