There's a difference between listening and engaging.

The NSA listens.

TikTok listens, engages, and suggests new content and ideas to millions.

NSA works against infrastructure providers to breech their security guards so they can continue to hoover up data, and backdoors products/algorithms.

TikTok shows you 80s commercials and clips from industrial films after figuring out that you want to see 80s commercials and clips from industrial films.

Based on the ads that I get, which are pretty unintrusive, easily identifiable and always skippable, it doesn't seem like their analytics are that advanced. Besides random major brands, who are essentially broadcasting ads, I get ads for diesel mechanic tech schools and random wish products.
