Well, it was fun for my short time on the platform, I was only there for 2-3 months, and I just abandoned it, cya, tiktok. I hope your app gets nuked by 12 year old gacha kids.

RIP in piss, TikTok. You and you're love of Osama bin Laden will not be missed.
I still used TikTok

Ive heard of it, but don't know what its about
Good for you. One less piece of spyware intruding on your life.
wait what
In my place, TikTok is filled with cringe dancing video
@NeonKarrot22 ByteDance is a Chinese company. You can read a little into the topic on your own time, but in a nutshell: "It would be safe to assume" that every bit of information that Chinese companies have access to, the Chinese government (as well as the government's good friends) will have access to as well.
If you trust your anti-virus software you can go to the Chinese equivalent to Steam (I never wrote the name down. A quick search suggests "Zhengqi Pingtai".), download any free MMO and count with how many individual piece of spyware it comes. A few years back when MMORPG-journalists still existed a common topic among them was how they wanted to check out MMORPGs which were already released in China or which had been tweaked in the Chinese version and how those games came pre-bundled with spyware. The record was (I think) 5 with the game and another 3 in the launcher software (MMOs.com Podcast over on YouTube, but I couldn't tell you which video). "Allegedly", the Chinese government is particularly keen on knowing which of their citizens are unproductive (i.e. play for several hours, stay up late, play when they are supposed to be working, and so on...) "Allegedly" they are also sharing those bits of information with the employers of those gamers. I couldn't tell you if that information is also sold/shared outside of China, though.
I'll let you draw your own conclusions about how much you, as somebody living outside China should be worried about this - but my personal experience is that people will (say) keep using Google Mail, even after it turns out that they nonchalantly read their users' private emails in order to better advertise to them...

APART FROM THE FACT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU HAD A TIKTOK ACCOUNT YES FUCK TIKTOK LETS HOPE THOSE 12 YEAR OLDS NUKE IT OFF THE FRONT PAGE ON THE GOOGLE PLAY AND APPSTORE

I was very silent about my TikTok account, since I didnt want people finding it, thats probably why. And yeah the app is already rotting anyway (when it comes to the community) so lets hope that motherfucker burns.
