It’s all moot. Facebook was happy to rake in the bucks to be a tool of Russian propagandists.

If anything, TikTok is a national resource as at least you know that the propaganda bias will be towards whatever the PRC wants. Facebook will sell itself to anyone - KGB, prostate pills, whatever.

>TikTok is a national resource

And if they want your kids to smash up their schools, does it help you with your geopolitical battles to know that's what 'they' want? Or would it be more helpful if that didn't happen?

Why is it a problem with TikTok, but not for Facebook? The boogieman of the PRC is less scary than Zuck imo.
