Yeah but you forget that TikTok is effectively spyware for the Chinese government packaged to look like a social media app.

I don't think anyone here forgot it. The average user, however, even if informed, likely will not care. I tried to convey all the issues surrounding FB to my SO, which produced generalized shrug.

I think a more drastic message is needed. Maybe some more distributed version of fappening that affects nearly everyone. That could get some attention. Could.

Remind them it got started as the reddit.com/r/jailbait for video and see what their reaction is.
Didn’t forget, I just remember how Zuckerberg regarded Facebook users back in the day (and those were Harvard students).
