When do we focus on Meta, Google, Twitter, Kick, etc as well?
All these companies do the same exact data harvesting.
What about them?
Google already got fined $170M for COPPA violations in 2019. Twitter was fined $150M in 2022 for disregard of privacy laws. Meta settled for $1.4B in a privacy suit just last week. TikTok isn't being singled out here.
And then Google, Twitter, and Meta stopped violating privacy.
... right?
