      Which issues are you talking about? That it collects as much data as Insta and Snapchat?

      But you don’t hear shit about those two, because 1. They’re owned by US companies who handed user data to the US from day 1 and 2. They were never used for organizing against the regime.

      The issues I’m talking about is that the US was influencing the algorithm.
