Not trying to defend TikTok, FB/Google/Twitter are not sharing data with CCP, but they are sharing data with CIA owned by Uncle Sam.

I'm wondering how to test those thousands lines of C++ code, a lot of them are compute-intensive, I don't see any unit test.

Listing the messaging App here is like comparing apples to oranges, gRPC and FIDL are for different purposes from technical perspective, people must have evaluated leveraging existing tech vs. creating a new one before the investment.

What if someone don't use Messenger? Venmo/Paypal are still the most popular options in my circles, largely because they are not tied to any specific platform.

It’s 81% to be precise according to it’s Q4 earnings.

Not sure about Teams, but Google Meet allow you to share a specific browser tab, I don't know how to implement it without reading all the opened tabs.

First, you can play YouTube without any problem on Firestick, they made the change 2 years ago. Second, you should give the new Chromecast device a try, it's far much better than Roku. Third, Google is asking Roku to support VP9, which is a much superior video coding format, I don't see any issue with this ask.

You can see this kind of comment in every YouTube related posts, please, there's no free lunch, either pay for the subscription or use tools to block the ads.

Because Android users will switch to iOS for better privacy, Google needs to develop something similar to keep the market share.

So many people complain about the mount of Ads, or the quality of Ads, but don't forget there's YT Premium. There's no free lunch, creators also need to feed their family. (it's your choice to use adblocker anyway)

Watching youtube videos using Google's bandwidth, without watching any ads or paying for sub, I don't see how this could be legit in the long term.
