I have a geoIP alias on my firewall and can still see TikTok sending telemetry to a Chinese CDN.

If this is your basis of evaluation of spying, this is straight up xenophobic and racist. Why? Because you (and Anglos) intentionally abuse the language barrier as a way to obfuscate the difference between spying and regular internet activity. This is reddit tier bullshit that almost every "investigative" YouTuber and blogger does.
