I don't think tiktok is worse then any other large platform. All platforms have brain rot, all platforms have dumb challenges and all platforms do a lot of spying.
I'd hope this is just a freakout about someone else spying, but It feels like an excuse to start banning a whole bunch of stuff for flimsy reasons.
... and as for the spying itself, I would be far more worried about my local government getting that data then China. I don't live anywhere near China, what are going to do? Sell me stuff? like google does?
