Next step, TikTok pushes people into their mobile Web app instead, and US has to order all ISPs to block their website, hum sounds familiar.

it's going to be way harder to explain how tiktok is able to collect more personnal data than the regular ecommerce website.

As PWA there is already plenty of device data to collect.

I imagine you aren't aware of what analytics engines are capable of, specially if crossing data from multiple sources is available.

my point was that analytics on the web is already quite known. Everyone tracks your every move, tiktok won't be able to do much worse.
