Data privacy is linked to misinformation however in that by tricking you to give up all your data, they know you down to a t. They then sell that info on to propaganda/misinformation outfits and ad firms who can then target too much more efficiently.

Most of the misinformation concerns have to do with what other people are posting, but then people try to contort it into a critique of the platform without saying the quiet part out loud ("we should have a mechanism for deciding on 'truths' and have platforms censor things outside of those 'truths'") because the quiet part is actually unpopular.
