     @frank

     yes, we should go after #facebook and #twitter too

     and we will

     what we can't do is #whataboutism:

     "we can't punish this murderer. because other murderers exist who aren't punished"

     this mode of thinking is bullshit

     we can go after #tiktok just fine. and if how we go after tiktok isn't ideologically perfect and pure: who gives a fuck except those making empty posturing over #toxicidealism

     If they are going to ban #TikTok because of surveillance, shouldn't they ban the big social media players too? They spy just as much and give your data to the government too.
