Yes, I agree. While data collection is an issue it feels like a red herring sometimes. I've received a wide variety of populist and anti-capitalist ideas from a wide spectrum of users on TikTok, and that feels like a greater threat to the powers that be than data collection.

If it was solely data collection the CCP (and anyone else for that matter) would simply buy data from random data brokers. It is much easier, cheaper and legal too.
