Is it time to delete TikTok? Here are the FACTS
In this article from the Washington Post, journalist Geoffrey A. Fowler pairs up with a technology expert to analyze what data TikTok data actually gathers from your phone. Read the article for a more detailed analysis, but the consensus is that TikTok gathers no more information than Facebook does.
This quote from the article pretty much sums it up: “....there’s scant evidence that TikTok is sharing our data with China, and we should be wary of xenophobia dressed up as privacy concerns.” Also, if you are SO worried about China invading your privacy, you might want to note that your laptop, phone, and television are probably made in China.
