China gets every metric possible from every single device in the world that uses tik tok. If you don't think so... Pull your head out of your ass.
But that’s where my phone is.
People don't even have to be using TikTok itself, I play Marvel Snap! and it tries to connect to TikTok & Bytedance servers. Anything owned by Bytedance, they will get your info.
Essentially any and all phones send info to someone. It's remarkable when people talk about how secure their iPhone is. Zero clue that they still have no privacy.
