Based take. Seemed we learned nothing from Trump and What-aboutism. Just because Facebook does it and doesn't get in trouble doesn't mean Facebook is in the right. It means you should get mad and demand change from them too.
Also I might have missed this, but didn't everyone get mad at tiktok last or a couple of years ago for circumventing Android and Apple app policies and collecting data they shouldn't? I though Facebook and Twitter obeyed those policies, they just had other means to collect that data.
TikTok has been known to exploit 0-days to evade the Android permissions system and escape OS sandboxing, especially on rooted and/or unlocked phones. This is one of the primary reasons it was banned from government-issued devices in the USA.
