For quadrants of evilness, x axis is "more control-freaky" to the right, y-axis is "more surveillant". Apple logo is in the lower right, mostly control freaky corner. Google is in the upper left, most surveillant corner. Facebook is in the upper right for the confidence of evil, most surveillant and most control-freaky. TikTok is mentioned as being "off the charts" on the inside back cover but my print edition is just a blank page on the inside back cover.

@pluralistic Loving your latest book _The Internet Con_! But I can't find the TikTok logo in the **quadrants of evil** chart (upper right corner), p.36, or "off the charts" on the inside back cover. Am I missing something?
Background: The text mentions that TikTok is "off the charts" on the inside back cover. The inside back cover is a blank page.
