    TikTok, regardless of the country of origin, is known to be spyware on a much greater level than everything else on this list.

    How do you support this assertion beyond just saying “it is known”?

      Sure, here are some sources:

      https://abcnews.go.com/Business/tiktok-data-app-report/story?id=97913249

      https://www.wired.com/story/tiktok-data-privacy/

        Literally none of those sources support your claim that:

        TikTok, regardless of the country of origin, is known to be spyware on a much greater level than everything else on this list.

        So at this point you’re just knowingly lying and hoping nobody bothers to check your links.

        From the very first link:

        TikTok is not the only company that uses its pixels throughout the internet. The report found Google, Meta and Microsoft, among others, use these trackers.

        Rigorous scholarship there, champ.

        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 citations did not support your claim at all, you’re just openly lying and hoping nobody bothers to check.

            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.

          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.

            I never said the other companies don’t also track you outside of the app.

            Justifying their attacks with claims of superiority, defending the obvious contradictions with equivalence. Classic motte and bailley.
