Chinese company bytedance tries to fragilise western democracies episode 1937392
American company meta tries to fragilise western democracies and personal freedoms episode 1937392
You know two things can be true, right?
Of course and they are. My point is people hate in tiktok all the time because it's Chinese and because they harvest data while ignoring the fact Facebook/Instagram snapchat etc are all doing the same stuff and they don't get met with a ban.
Because one is domestic and one is not. It's pretty simple to understand. Geopolitics is still a thing.
One is domestic. Who stills sells that data to China 😂
I assure you I have hated Facebook long before TikTok
They should, and the EU should logically ban both if they're unwilling to moderate the hate-speech and lies that infest their platforms.
Exactly I completely agree. But it's an obvious move to fill the pockets of politicians because they own stocks in Meta and meta has been lobbying against tiktok for years.
