You can't sign up with just an email, you need third party integration like Twitter, and surprise, you need to give TikTok full access to your account.

Still pretty entertaining though.

That’s not true. You can signup without Twitter, Google or Facebook accounts. I signed up with just my email

https://www.tiktok.com/signup

Also just because they use Twitter to sign in, it doesn’t mean they have access to any private data.

This is incorrect. You can sign up with email.
