Very good point!

The best answer to "ban tiktok" (which I think is good for many reasons, including data collection like this and mental health), is "... and ban data collection like this too, right?"

I think that both of those things would be beneficial for the public - and you can use the response to this point to judge whether someone actually cares about privacy or just wants data collection to be limited to their preferred government.
