No, tik tok’s data gathering is far more intrusive.

It’s really not. They’re using the same stuff every American company is using. Google probably knows more about you from tracking all your browser and search activity, email activity, and potentially phone activity including location and bundling that all into one valuable data profile to sell to advertisers.

You're right that privacy is not a top priority of most social media sites. However, the main difference between tik tok and others, is that it is a completely different app here in the states than it is in china. It's known that tik tok is trying to show US kids something totally different than what it's showing chinese children.
