<<An adversary. Different discussion.
No. Same exact discussion. Those are not separate conversations thanks at partially to globalism and our interconnectedness and interdependence.
<<To my knowledge, regulators haven't raised anti-trust concerns with Tik Tok the way they have with Facebook.
Yes, regulators also didn't raise any anti-trust concerns in general lately, where US economy is full of oligopolies, where individual companies have the resources, power and impact equal to some nation states and appetites to lock customers even further in their respective locked gardens. I am sorry, but I do not find this argument persuasive based on the reality on the ground alone. You can throw a rock at almost any industry in US and you will find several top dogs owning everything in it. And this is before we get to regulatory capture and revolving doors.
edit: To sum up, people like me would argue regulators are not doing their jobs.
<< We don't need to justify enforcement on Tik Tok against our lenience with Facebook because they're separate conversations.
Why not? Scratch that. Why are they separate conversations? It seems TikTok and FB are the same type of app. The only difference is that TikTok is housed in the wrong country.
<< And nobody has taken the public-health mantel when it comes to social media.
Could you elaborate a little? I think I know what you are trying to say, but I do not want to put words in your mouth.
