Starts with dance videos, Figures our your preferences pretty quickly and I have found it very educational, the short format really cuts to the chase, It has prompted me to learn new techniques in cooking, woodwork, stretching... positive overall!

I agree, it seems benign besides the surveillance.

Could you expand on this? Does the app have more surveillance/data gathering than other? Genuinely curious, feeling naive

It does not. Spreading conspiracy is exciting and makes people feel smart. If you use Frida to bypass cert pinning and see what’s sent, TikTok doesn’t collect anything of note in the realm of social media.

Google (and the NSA by extension, via PRISM) has magnitudes more information on you.
