Calling out google's practices is valid, but doing it in a thread about facebook's practices is whataboutism. It's just not on-topic.

- 50656E6973 8y agoYou're wrong, that's not whataboutism. >Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument,[1][2][3] which in the United States is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda. OP did not "attempt to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy". Please stop trying to stifle genuine intellectual discussion with erroneous assertions.
