you can probably datamine TikTok without being Bytedance, simply by data scraping using fake accounts, going through profiles etc. In that sense it's as much of a threat to the US as Youtube, since people are making all kinds of videos in all kinds of places, and the videos are easily scrapable as of right now

Whatever obnoxious crap is on Youtube nowdays, the content's notably different and unlikely to be timely. And that's if it even leaks the same sort of metadata.
