Did occurring in 2015 happen to make it less bad somehow? We sure as hell weren't passing laws to ban facebook back then either, so I'm not sure what point you think you've made.
We didn't have the same stance on data privacy back then as we do today. GDPR wouldn't be a thing for another year, not implemented for two more after that (2018). Legislators largely didn't understand the risks associated with unrestricted exchanges of seemingly benign user data at the time. Yay for hindsight being 20/20.
That’s great. Nothing has changed about Facebook so nothing is stopping them from banning it now for the same reason as TikTok. The only reason they wouldn’t is if they had a motivation that had nothing to do with protecting elections from foreign influence.
Hindsight and foresight are identical I always say
Foresight? We’re talking about the present and the recent past dude are you okay or do you just argue in weird slogans?
We know now what we knew in 40000 bc, obviously
Aren't they the opposite? Unless you are saying we should use past experiences to protect ourselves in the future then shouldn't we still ban Facebook? Regardless of how you feel about tiktok, Facebook was never neutered.
