No, I think they're saying Facebook is bad but having an entity tied to a not-so-friendly government do it on a much larger scale is worse.

As if the U.S is a totally friendly government to the entire world ? Iraq, Afghanistan and many other countries the US destroyed would sure disagree.

I did not say the US government was friendly, nor does the context of TikTok operating in the US have anything remotely to do with Iraq or Afghanistan.

Why are you talking about the US government right now? Is Facebook run by the US government?

There's incredible amount of misplaced belief on HN that every HN reader considers the US government friendly.

I didn't say the US government was friendly, and I certainly don't think that either. But if we're talking about social networks surveilling people in the US, the US government doing it is bad and an adversarial foreign government doing it is worse.
