Good luck criticizing a user’s choice of platform hoping to get them to leave. I’m just happy to see one less corporate platform.

“You really shouldn’t jump rope on the train tracks. It’s not safe.”

“What’s not safe about jumping rope? Everybody jump’s rope.”

“It’s not jumping rope that’s the problem, it’s the train tracks.”

“I think I’m smart enough to know if a train is coming. It’s not like the train is coming for me specifically. I’m not that important. I don’t have anything valuable enough for the train to take from me anyw-“ splat

All American social networks are also spyware

The interest your domestic and foreign corporate social media platforms have in you are VASTLY different. It's naive to equivocate them. Yes, TikTok should get "banned", which will just be pulling the app from the app store and likely still available as a web app maybe through a VPN. They're just going to create more friction in getting access.

Instead of advocating for spyware, perhaps we should be highlighting open alternatives?
