Technically TikTok is not actually state run either. But in both cases the governments in question can simply pressure the owners to submit to their demands.

If you don't use Facebook maybe you can speak out against it, but as far as watering down evil goes, no major technology company is innocent.

TikTok is a State Run Military Op in China, with a local branch in the USA to make their data collection easier and more profitable.
