If only, apparently facebook gets to do terrible things and get away with it because it's American.

MYANMAR: FACEBOOK’S SYSTEMS PROMOTED VIOLENCE AGAINST ROHINGYA

But Tiktok committed the crime of not being an American company, so the USA will move to crush Facebook's competition.

Tiktok is the tool of a hostile foreign power. Facebook is company that was negligent with security and the evil being committed on their platform because of greed.

The two are not the same.

Facebook is a hostile foreign company, not everyone on Reddit is american with rose coloured glasses on. They peddle election misinformation, they accept election ads (something tiktok does not do).

you know what great evil tik tok committed that suddenly has them on the radar? Handed republicans the biggest midterm L in history because the zoomers used it to get out the vote. Thats the real reason, the government does not give two shits about us and its already been banned from government devices.

TikTok's great evils include being Chinese spy ware, encouraging people to film in vertical, and being overall pretty cringe.

List of TikTok's crimes:

Being Chinese
Not being American
Forcing users to accept ludicrous permissions that violate their privacy
Promoting Vertical content when Horizontal content is objectively superior
Recycling cringe meme formats within their user base
Also polluting the interweb with video content that have annoying music stuck onto them with robotic voice narration.
