How fake news is created. To protect its market share, Facebook has hired a lobbying firm to demonize TikTok.

A company called Targeted Victory pays people to write op-eds in prominent newspapers; and recruits pay-for-play politicians to hype security threat of the “Communist China”.

@phlogiston exactly, I'd be much more concerned about the government that has agency over me collecting my data as opposed to the one that doesn't
