> Far more invasive tracking False. It's actually not worse than any other social media platform. [1] It doesn't even try to exploit your browser and device, like Reddit does.

So you are showing me that both Reddit and TikTok do fingerprinting on their users? There is no difference in any of the posts you have linked. You might need to read both of those posts again. So this is not far more invasive tracking in TikTok as of 2021 then?

    > used by every major social media company. Substantiate your comment with concrete, up-to-date sources otherwise your claim can be dismissed as baseless. For example, in TikTok's own privacy policy: [0] > "We may collect biometric identifiers and biometric information as defined under US laws, such as faceprints and voiceprints, from your User Content. Where required by law, we will seek any required permissions from you prior to any such collection." Given that it has been admitted after a privacy lawsuit [1] which confirmed that all of this was the case, How is this not worse than the other social media companies that already collect your data, but in this case it also includes voiceprints? On top of that, they were sued for billions for abusing under-age children's data of this year [2]. Then I asked you how long until they screw with their users again? [3]. No response or evidence from you obviously but after that question, it turns out it took them 22 days to do it again. [4] So actually 'Yes'. My point still stands.
