Just to check, between Facebook and WeChat, which company engages more in predatory, racist and violent practices and is complicit in unthinkable brutality and violations of human rights?
> Either it's Facebook, which is relatively transparent
Nice joke to break the ice.
> and can be sued, regulated and criticized in the media
Well, the same applies to any other App, and yes this include tik-tok or Wechat. China jurisdiction is not supranational. The situation inside China is different.
> Or it's another social network that you have absolutely no recourse against.
If the network is operating legally in your country then you have resource. If you go out of your way and sign-up to the Somalian Buccaneers App and they rob you then you are fucked but it was basically your fault.
As I know people simplify to score fake debate points, I am not saying to install tik-tok or we-chat, I did it for a few days and both are terrible apps with very creepy features. But guess what so are Instagram and Facebook, so I dont use them either. Nobody needs them really.
It absolutely is.
