I use a TikTok proxy website, scrap it, make an RSS/Atom feed with embedded videos and watch them without undue influence from an algorithm, only the accounts, searches and tags I care about.

Albeit this is not for privacy reasons, but because it is just better, as my feed reader has killfiles and is optimized for my liking.

TikTok's (and all of Big Tech) surveillance is electromagnetic, not really tied to phones (data collected from phones are just a way to give the impression they don't have other means of surveillance).

Privacy never existed and I look forward to proving this in court with a repeatable experiment that can be done by anyone.
