What makes you think this is the only source of that information and that Google and others who also collect this information aren’t providing it to whomever discreetly pays for it? Why is TikTok different than say Zoom? What do you think “China” is going to do with the location of every 13 year old girl? Send targeted kill bots to do something a bomb can do better? Or does it just creep you out that someone other than Google, Facebook, Palantir, and their customers from around the world has such information? Maybe the problem is pervasive spying by anyone? If TikTok were doing anything criminal I would agree. They aren’t. And if they are there’s already methods of dealing with it. The content and medium of communication and forum of TikTok isn’t available anywhere else. I see this as no different than oppressive regimes everywhere banning Wikipedia, FB, etc. I’m shocked any honest tech person can’t see this is establishing a Great Wall in the US.
