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.

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...

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.
