    Facebook is worse when it comes to privacy and security as we all know.

    IMO google is better with security.

    Facebook still probably stores their users passwords in plaintext

      Google has an alright security but they’re absolutely atrocious when it comes to privacy. Now even making an account on gmail requires you to give away your phone number.

        Not to mention both companies’ practices of bots randomly kicking people out of their accounts with no human appeal.
