TikTok isn’t like American data harvesting apps. For Facebook and Snapchat the main data purchasers are Ad companies. (All mainstream social media is complicit in selling data to rival superpowers, I just believe Tik Tok intentionally feeds more harmful content to youth than other platforms) The CCP has party officials on TikTok’s board of directors. The app is designed to force feed an endless stream of toxic behaviors, overstimulating content, low quality journalism and disinformation mixed in with entertainment to the West’s youth in an effort to influence them. They take your data input (what videos you like, what you don’t like, what captivates you, how gullible you are) and create a psychological profile. If you have your camera and mic access on the data they can collect on you increases significantly. The more you use it, the stronger your psychological profile gets. At a certain point, they can start throwing in toxic content that fits your profile to manipulate you mentally. The main goal is to show you content that makes you angry, upset, or distracted to ruin your day. If you use it daily, it can add up. This is why we’re having a national mental health crisis and why grades are slipping in schools.

Holy fuck, you people just love to get fascist and authoritarian when you don’t like something.
