You’re right, Google controls what I see and pushes right wing propaganda to my phone. TikTok’s algorithm actually works to serve me content based on my interests, and I have true political discussion and discourse there.

Google doesn’t push right wing propaganda to my phone. Do they only do that to US citizens?

I’m Canadian - 2 weeks before the election I started getting about an article per day pushed to my Android phone, for a few days.

You’re right, Google’s tracking is way more pervasive and far less optional.

I hope you mean Google, they track you all over the web whether you want to be tracked or not just because lazy web developers can’t be bothered to host their own fonts (and other ways but that’s just one example). You have to deliberately download or use TikTok for them to get your data.

Not to mention meta. They’ll do all of the above and when they’re done sell the data to the highest bidder.
