No, I think they're saying Facebook is bad but having an entity tied to a not-so-friendly government do it on a much larger scale is worse.

- jacooper 4y agoAs if the U.S is a totally friendly government to the entire world ? Iraq, Afghanistan and many other countries the US destroyed would sure disagree.
- vore 4y agoI did not say the US government was friendly, nor does the context of TikTok operating in the US have anything remotely to do with Iraq or Afghanistan.
- DangitBobby 4y agoWhy are you talking about the US government right now? Is Facebook run by the US government?
- maccolgan 4y agoThere's incredible amount of misplaced belief on HN that every HN reader considers the US government friendly.
- vore 4y agoI didn't say the US government was friendly, and I certainly don't think that either. But if we're talking about social networks surveilling people in the US, the US government doing it is bad and an adversarial foreign government doing it is worse.
