    And it’s well beyond what any other social media app does plus unnecessary for the functionality of the app.

    I’ll need to rewatch this to remember the specifics, but this privacy YouTuber named Rob Braxman did a comparison of the permissions and terms from Tik Tok and other social media apps, and Tik Tok came out quite favourably: https://youtu.be/VIakTNOhNSE

    Chinese government spying or interference in the algorithm is probably real, but it’s still a far superior product at the end of the day, which tells you something about how bad the competition is. To compare Tik Tok to Instagram reels is completely absurd.

      I love that you’re just cool with an oppositional government spying because you like the pretty videos. Please, tell me more intelligent things.

      And please, where did I mention Reels? And what makes it a far superior product behind marketing? What can TikTok do that any other can’t?

        Great response. Definitely I want to continue the discussion.
