Yet the site does not have access to biometrics. What point are you making?

  Neither does TikTok if you don't upload anything.

      They're using industry standard techniques for user tracking. If you find them objectionable, change the industry.

      All of this applies to Instagram, FB, etc... too? Also > How much are the CCP paying you to defend TikTok in all these comments? This is surely not the way to have a rational conversation about the topic?

      Accusing HN users of being paid shills doesn't add to the conversation. If we can't scrutinize overtly-vague technical criticisms w/o being called names then what's the point?

    Techniques for recovering certain biometric data from accelerometers, microphones, etc. is well-established. Obviously the behavioral profiles are unaffected by this, considering it focuses primarily on browsing habits.
