  > The comment you linked is talking about how much they value finding community through TikTok, not how much they value ubiquitous surveillance. Nonsense. So the surveillance on TikTok is somehow 'abstract' and 'fear-mongering' as the comment said? [0][1] I'm assuming you have read the entire comment and it turns out that the concerns of the parent comment has become true. Also with the entire point being that it has turned into the opposite of what the linked comment is describing, just like the initial utopian promises and expectations of social media a decade ago. It is naive for anyone to expect any better or different after the spyware reports on individuals in the US [0] and access to US data from overseas [1] after TikTok lied and continue denying it, making it more worse than Facebook. For his comment to be put in contrast against reality and calling it 'abstract' and 'fear-mongering' is not only laughable, it has aged absolutely terribly.
