"free pass"? there are new anti-tiktok articles nearly every week - facebook gets a fraction of the attention.

Wonder what bubble you're in, I've been seeing a Facebook attack article easily 3-4 times a month for the last three years. I want to see Bytedance's CEO in front of Congress.

Whereas anti TikTok is a recent (and much needed) development. That app is fast tracking through every single pitfall Facebook hit, starting with making users' attention spans less than five seconds, filtering out content based on beauty, giving schoolchildren tics, and all the trust and safety issues.

I think it's because to it's so obviously a bad idea to trust Tiktok that it doesn't make for an interesting debate. Whereas without Facebook you can have arguments going both ways.

There are some interesting/hilarious media bubbles showing up in the replies to this comment.
