        I read through the first link you provided, it doesn’t align with your claim “TikTok OBJECTIVELY collects far lesser data than Big Tech apps and services.”

        We go section by section


        The companies collecting your face, voice & environment

        TikTok is worst here, collection all possible voice, face, environment data


        What can companies tell from image recognition?

        Again TikTok infer as much information as possible, worst among all listed.


        The later couple section did not mention tiktok, so I cannot compare it.

        Finally

        the 5 social media apps that know most about you

        TikTok ranked number 3 in among all the social media, above clubhouse and twitter, just below facebook and instagram.

            Facts or feelings. Choose one. You have not yet chosen facts.

            I may not be into Ben Shapiro as much as you, so I reject that premise. You can argue things with facts and feelings, I’d even go so far to say that that’s very important to do. Otherwise we’d lose track of what matters.

            Analysis is not speculation

            I could be wrong, but do those analysts have unfettered access to TikTok’s servers? Because I don’t think they do. You can track what goes out, but you can’t track what they keep.

            This sounds insanely xenophobic and racist.

            This sounds xenophobic? Not exactly a “factual” argument. But no, it’s obviously not. I was referring to how China doesn’t let other countries so much as peek at their servers. This is well known, and has nothing to do with race or culture, but with the CCP and its antics.
