We give so much more slack when it's a company that supports a totalitarian regime.
When it's Facebook which is subject to scrutiny of many major democratic governments and press, we gives it no slack.
Ironic and funny.
- bluesign 6y agoFacebook has very bad track record with privacy and abusing use data, tbh they are getting what they deserve. We are not giving a slack to a company that supports a totalitarian regime, if you see this as support, you can say that Apple is supporting Chinese totalitarian regime too.

- ksk 6y agoWell, FB is disliked more because many well-meaning left leaning folks bought the "trump won because putin bought FB ads" argument.
- mullingitover 6y agoWho is this 'we' we're talking about? Clearly the US government gives Facebook all of the slack (arguably since Facebook offers the US intelligence services a panopticon). The only people not giving Facebook slack are activists. And Tiktok, despite their US arm being a US company, essentially is facing the execution of their business at the hands of the US government unless they do a fire sale under duress.
