why are people still acting like this is new and surprising? it isn't. yes, your devices are always listening. yes, you are being marketed to 24/7. yes, there is an algorithm that knows everything about you and can even predict your future interests. yes, tiktok reads EVERY search and EVERY message on EVERY part of your device, including your texts AND your calls that you thought were private and yes, you gave it permission to do so when you downloaded it and didn't read the terms of service.

tiktok is a data harvesting tool unlike any seen before in the world. every single thing about it is designed with the intention of keeping you swiping, keeping it installed on as many devices as possible for as long as possible so it can harvest as much data as possible. look into ByteDance Ltd. the app isn't somebody's friendly project to help you and your friends and internet strangers share funny clips back and forth. it was deliberately designed to maximize data harvesting potential.
