Tiktok will go down in infamy as the best intelligence operation in the history of mankind. Both in its potential for collection and profiling as well as psychological and behavioral manipulation

That’s a comment about as useful and shallow as an opening commentary on The View.

Please share more data on your conclusions. Sounds like you have some deep insights on what data tiktok collects about users, how that data is given to CCP intelligence, how the CCP overcomes the controls Oracle and Tiktok USDS built, and how its recommendation engine differs substantially from the content and ad matching systems other social media sites or ad-tech companies use. Superficial repetitions of “tiktok bad because dopamine/CCP spies/cat videos” aren’t helpful. Data and specifics are helpful.

It's 10 months old now, but seems pretty well researched, showing the extremely close ties between the CCP and TikTok leadership.
