The spyware/political part of the subject is agreeable, the mental health part is laughable and naive.

But even then, there are so many Chinese apps that have the same data collection capabilities. Tencent games probably rake in more users than TikTok could ever hope for. PUBG, Call of Duty, League of Legends... these aren't small time indies.

I’m tired of hearing about Meta when there are so many companies doing way worse shit. Meta is in a chokehold right now and is so closely observed because of the actual past fuckups that they can’t really get away with much. People love to just glom onto Meta and use it as a scapegoat but holy shit TikTok ACTUALLY steals your data and no one cares. If meta was doing that today people would lose their shit, but no one cares about TikTok? Or how poorly Apple treats their factory workers? I would love to actually rip apart some of these other companies. Meta is like a hornet with its wings cut off. Boring and old.
