TikTok only makes profit from storing and selling personal information. It just so happens that the personal information of the average American is worth a lot more money than the average Jamaican.

I assure you TikTok not only needs Americans to willingly give them their information, it was specifically designed to target them. If you enjoy TikTok outside of a five eyes nation that's fine, they're willing to pay to host your little vertical videos too. Price of doing business. So long as they can collect what they were actually after.
