    Instagram isn’t State Run. Instagram isn’t funding a coup in the 1970s. If you had used Facebook as an example then maybe you’d have a great point, although I don’t use their platforms either, tbh.

    It just feels to me like people who use TikTok and compare it to lesser threats to human life are watering down evil for easy consumption. I feel very strongly about it and I would love for everyone to please fucking stop.

      Technically TikTok is not actually state run either. But in both cases the governments in question can simply pressure the owners to submit to their demands.

      If you don’t use Facebook maybe you can speak out against it, but as far as watering down evil goes, no major technology company is innocent.

        TikTok is a State Run Military Op in China, with a local branch in the USA to make their data collection easier and more profitable.
