Some US tech companies are showing us their real face, and during that time TikTok is the only show in town

To be clear, I think it sucks that META is shuttering CroudTangle!

HOWEVER,

Have you compared Meta's ad library or their coming replacement for CrowdTangle with what is offered as transparency by TikTok in the USA?

Try to find US based ads at https://library.tiktok.com/ads then come back and talk about how great TikTok is with respect to "transparency".

Never underestimate Zuckerberg Inc.'s ability to consistently do the bad thing.
