> Whataboutism - ... attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging hypocrisy
> Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another or the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.
Nobody is claiming the prosecution is "engaging in the same behavior", nor that the prosecution is "claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform".
The claim is that there is a bigger fish out there, and people are pointing out, that the bigger fish would be a better expense of the taxpayer money. Perhaps they even consider scenario of dropping Facebook case right now and starting cases against Google and Apple to be more beneficial than following through with it.
- bobthepanda 5y agoWho says they haven't started cases against Google and Apple? Prosecutors don't go immediately public when they start building cases, because that's a great way of letting the defendants know they need to start covering things up.
