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.
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.
Both are bad, one is worse.

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.
Now when you say “pushed to”, where and how did that actually manifest “on” your phone.
