I just checked and the tiktok app has no access to anything on my phone lmao. It literally cannot access any of this data, unless you're uploading videos then it will use your pictures.

Plus, even IF youre right and the app is somehow circumventing all of the rules the app stores require to even be on it, AND somehow Google and Apple are incapable of figuring out that the app is malicious AND they also for some reason don't remove it for breaking those rules, I'm just some dude looking at stupid memes. China isn't getting anything I care about.

though I disagree that you're seemingly implying it's harmless - I too do not care if some dude in China knows about my hobbies. I'm the safest type of person out there - I'm a nobody - the worst they can do is shove more targeted ads in my face, and guess what I have an adblocker.
