Ahhh, typical Hexbear, jumping to the conclusion that I am racist because I said TikTok is bad without any citations. See the other reply in the thread for the citations.
Your first link has a sentence expressly disproving your own thesis, so in addition to concluding you are a racist, I can also now conclude that you didn't read your own sources.
Justifying their attacks with claims of superiority, defending the obvious contradictions with equivalence. Classic motte and bailley.
I never said the other companies don't also track you outside of the app.
I'm not trying to openly lie. If you have any evidence that any of the other platforms are expressly worse than TikTok for privacy, please show me.
Goalpost shifting, your original post said that TikTok is known to be spyware on a much greater level than anything else on this list.
Your statement isn't true even if you prove that Tiktok is the worst offender on the list. You need to prove that Tiktok is worse to a much higher degree than anything else on that list. Your own source straight out says that at least 3 of the other companies on the list engage in similar practices.
