Not sure why you've been downvoted. I think the dopamine receptor frying nature of apps like TikTok is more of a danger than the Chinese government getting hold of kids/teens data. We have almost entire generations hooked on a short-form media content app which is rapidly decaying their attention spans and sitting in their hands like a hardcore drug. The longer term implications of children / teenagers that can't read a short book is far more detrimental than China knowing which pop songs they like. Add to that, the moronic trends spread and perhaps encouraged on these platforms (tide pod eating, play-acting as if they're victims of the holocaust, and the sketchy sexual content on the platform). TikTok, and to be honest, all social media, are toxic products. Maybe if the US bans TikTok, they should proceed ahead and ban the rest, "for the children's safety".
