Tiktok is still just as shit as Facebook.
A very much needed opposition to USA Big Tech. TikTok should keep USA at its toes and the morality concerns shown by hypocrites suddenly disappear for USA Big Tech. Most of these staunch moralistic people are also from Western countries, who have a clear conflict of interest.
Also, TikTok collecting more data than USA Big Tech companies is a myth repeatedly debunked by analysts of data collection in apps.
