I agree it's a huge security threat but framing it as data privacy issue is a distraction from the real concern which is top-down censorship. People think of TikTok as pure algorithm but that's wrong, the algorithm is manipulated directly by the CCP. They've censored BlackLivesMatter[1], blocked a teenager discussing China’s genocide in Xinjiang[2], blocked a video of Tank Man[3], Hong Kong protests and Houston Rockets basketball team[4]. TikTok guidelines censor Tiananmen Square, Tibetan independence, and the Falun Gong[5].
