Do you honestly think China uses more propaganda on American than the US government does on its own people? Meanwhile, Google literally controls the flow of information, while knowing your location and browser history.
> You should also consider that the connections that Google has to US intelligence is not akin to the connections that TikTok has to the CCP. The latter is much more direct
Doubtful. Google is US intelligence.
- godelski 4y ago> Do you honestly think China uses more propaganda on American than the US government does on its own people? That's not what we're discussing. We're discussing if China uses propaganda on American population. That's it. You don't have to make it a competition. You don't have to move the goal post. > Meanwhile, Google literally controls the flow of information, while knowing your location and browser history. I don't think anyone complaining about TikTok's influence also isn't actively complaining about Google's influence. You can check my comment history if you don't believe me. You can even see how much I advocate for tools like Signal. Don't create a false dichotomy. > Google is influenced by many intelligence agencies from many different countries but mostly the US. FTFY
