Someone shared they are pushing malware JS via https://netseer-ipaddr-assoc.xy.fbcdn.net, so one of them is incomparably horrific.

If I am opening TikTok in a browser, I do not have much to worry about. It can keylog what I search for or comment in TikTok, nothing else. And this is in-app, NOT if Tiktok is used in-browser. On the other hand, I have to block off Facebook domains on system HOSTS level to keep myself safe from malware.

You are wanting to put TikTok in an isolated perspective, while I am pitting it against Facebook, since it is about JS/in-app keylogging tactics, and I am discussing the scope of both services.
