Could you expand on this? Does the app have more surveillance/data gathering than other? Genuinely curious, feeling naive
It does not. Spreading conspiracy is exciting and makes people feel smart. If you use Frida to bypass cert pinning and see what’s sent, TikTok doesn’t collect anything of note in the realm of social media.

Google (and the NSA by extension, via PRISM) has magnitudes more information on you.
