Personally, I like TikTok. I think there's a lot of entertaining and intelligent content. Of course, there's junk too but I've found it relatively easy to filter it out. I don't think that TikTok is tracking my physical location but apparently, they might be tracking yours.

TikTok will certainly intend to track location and any other data it can sell. Monetizing user data is why it exists. TikTok isn't a product; the user is.

If you're concerned about TikTok, wait until you hear about every other social media app from mid 2000s to present day.

100% agree, considering how laughably debunked it is. But when you're a desperate felon like D’Souza, you don't have many other career options other than grifting.

All apps gather data. You agree to this collection when you download anything. Just using anything with a microchip collects data. Your ISP collects data on you with every site you visit on the internet. There's more data than people on the planet.

Sometimes it's best for us computer tech people to stay quiet, so we don't expose your virgin ears to what is really going on.
Ignorance is bliss.

Sometimes it's best to actually read the article, then you might know what's really being discussed.
