    So Facebook has the best interest of the people at heart?

        Absolute bullshit. Go ahead and prove what you said, I’ll wait here. Find any comments on Lemmy that are pro-Facebook or pro-Meta.

      Facebook is not intentionally doing it. It was a byproduct of capitalism. While TikTok doesn’t care about profits and only wants to control our government and people.

        Most 10 years ago they were already manipulating people on purpose

          Yes, to maximize ad spend, not to take down a government for another government’s benefit.

            You know though that the United States have “taken down” governments before? Americans do not have any right to feel superior on this issue in the slightest way

              Does it matter what the US did or didn’t do? The US government should always put Americans first.

              Should we not ban TikTok because ourfounding fathers had slaves too?

            To do both… But keep your head in the sand as long as you want

              They literally sold the data for money. Not trying to topple a government.

                So they sell data for money, to people who wanted to influence an election … But you see that as different?

                  Yes. Tell me what is more effective. Having a software that you own that you can segment and target directly or buy data from a 3rd party and then try and use that platform which is not designed to influence elections and is also monitored by the NSA.
