honestly, i'm more afraid of the trends tiktok tends to push than the data collection, my crackhead conspiracy theory is the international tiktok algorithm is tuned to promote awful and dangerous trends in order to cause chaos in places that china considers the enemy

data collection happens everywhere, but you don't tend to see dangerous and ridiculous trends on other social media platforms

@mjdxp Completely agree, it was never about data collection. I'm actually unaware of TikTok trends, but I know a couple of TikTok personas popular among teenagers in my country — they are completely nuts! No, it's not me being grumpy, most teenager-oriented YouTube was just a little weird and stupid, TikTok — totally insane 🤪
