And they definitely won’t use that for potential blackmail purposes. Don’t worry guys.

  They probably won't. they most likely will however flag you for a bit of extra tracking if you enter China.

    And what does that extra tracking lead to if not eventually blackmail? Sure 99.999 of cases will never get there… Its that Pesky one or two people who were disappeared as a result Most people chalk that up to “doing business” unfortunately instead of seeing it as inducing existential risk where unnecessary

  I don't see how it could be used for blackmail. All that's being tracked is that TikTok reckons that you enjoy LGBT-aligned content, based on a lot of chaotic circumstantial indicators. It's not porn, and it doesn't even mean that the user requested LGBT content. You can probably even get put into that category because you frequently argue against LGBT people in replies (the algorithm seems to heavily weight replies, since that's a deeper interaction than a like or a rewatch). The information itself is no more usable for blackmail than if a stranger on the street were to personally declare of you, "I reckon that this guy is gay, based on his typing style."
