Stop equivocating. Facebook is under US jurisdiction. Tiktok is not.

Wasn't Facebook used by russian intelligence to manipulate the 2016 elections?

Does it even matter that it's under US jurisdiction if it can be misused by foreign actors without any real consequences? Meta just uses its lobbying to keep itself without harm.

This is straight-up factually incorrect.

How is it wrong? Are you making a super-big deal that, say, TikTok has some US-registered LLC's or something?

What ultimately matters is who owns and controls it, and whose jurisdiction they're under.
