Seems to me it’s only guilty of the same data scraping for marketing purposes that Meta is… maybe even less so as I always found TikToks advertising less gross than Instagrams.
Both suck but TikTok is slightly less suck.
Is it really a security thing or is it a “We are getting pressure from US companies to remove competition” thing?
Sorry, I mentioned the State as a generalization of other comments, not yours. I agree with what you’re saying about PR and interest groups being the dominant form of US propaganda, and politicians not stopping the spread of misinformation because they’re benefactors. [edit: formatting]
