Comment on Why is TikTok seen as privacy invading and bad, but Facebook is fine?

They’re both bad but tik tok is on steroids. There are a bunch of security researchers out there that have uncovered the crap tone of shit tik tok collects. It’s basically a spyware app that also comes with a social media app. From the ground up it was meant to collect personal information and every little bit about your device. I block it on my network because any tik tok device also scans the entire network and I don’t want that to happen.

You can replace tiktok with Facebook in your comment, and it’s all still true. If you really believe that tiktok is somewhow worse than FB, you aren’t paying attention.

I don’t use fb either but facebook is even less invasive than Tik Tok and that says a lot.

What are you basing that statement on? Last I ckecked, tiktok hasn’t been implicated in facilitating genocide, subverting democratic elections, etc.
