View submission: Anyone else not ever use TikTok whatsoever?
probably because our data was and will never be safe to begin with. every few months there’s a new “security risk” involving our data (ssn’s, passwords, banking info, etc). if you really think ppl are ignorant of the data collection, you should listen to what they are saying. nobody cares that tik tok collects data, they acknowledge it and accept it bc they simply want to watch fun videos.

A lot of us grew up in a time where our data WAS safe, we acknowledge that nowadays that isnt true, but because we had known the value of privacy (and the modern world makes us appreciate that value more), we arent willing to wholesale give it up for Vines. Tiktok gathers a LOT of info, same as facebook, etc. I mostly hang out on the internet and only download apps if I absolutely have to specifically BECAUSE of their tendency to be for data collection. As such, I'm one of the few people I know where if you were to google my full name and country, you STILL wouldnt get any traceable info about me
