Just one person, but ranked from worst to best it's definitely Facebook is better than Google is better than Twitter Twitter has a big impact socially, but they're so much smaller than fb and google, it's hard to put them in the same league

Facebook is absolutely worse than google, in addition to doing all of the horrific things google does, they’ve sold “privacy” VPNs that recorded information, repeatedly lied and reneged on promises.

  Google got caught operating a service extremely similar to Onavo. It's called Screenwise Meter. Identically to how Facebook was exploited enterprise certificates to circumvent the App Store policy, Google was doing the exact same: https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/30/googles-also-peddling-a-data-collector-through-apples-back-door https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/30/googles-also-peddling-a-da... While they backed off on iOS when they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar, Google kept it running on Android until this month, well over a year after Facebook shut down Onavo: https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/11/03/googles-screenwise-meter-app-and-its-rewards-program-are-now-dead/ https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/11/03/googles-screenwise-... It's incredible to me that Facebook still has a worse image than Google: Google can do the exact same thing, for longer, and still people treat Facebook like they're a degree worse for some reason. Both ad companies are bad.

Nothing 'definite' about those statements, they are just opinions, as we all have. I'd say FB is worst because of their reuse and reselling of personal data, their deliberate designs of making their service more and more invasive, their purchase of competing services and monopolised approach to everything. Google are no saints either, not by a long stretch. Twitter has far more influence than anyone would expect

Too late to edit or delete my comment here, but for the record I meant to say Facebook is WORSE than Google is WORSE than Twitter. I had '>' symbols and then decided to switch it to words without fully thinking thru the semantic meaning. Oops :(
