Why do threads about TikTok _always_ have posts with whataboutism regarding Instagram and other social network apps? It's a pattern I started noticing.

  Because Tiktok is also a social network app, and they all have a lot of the same problems, if not all the same problems? Why wouldn't you talk about 1 thing being banned but not other things like it?

    Because you see, It's totally ok when we do it. But GOD Forbid others engage in the same behaviour.

    Of course. But the discussion gets partially derailed against Facebook and Instagram and not about the original article about TikTok.

  Seems to be justified whataboutism though... The same content exists on almost any platform, yet only one is banned.

  A similarly interesting question: why do so many humans find "Whataboutism" so persuasive, yet worship science for it's attention to detail?
