If you choose to share that information, and your statement is highly inaccurate. Tiktok does not have access to any of that stuff by default and you have to explicitly allow it access. They also do not have access to ‘whatever they want’. IOS and Android both use a containerized model and API to only allow access to approved APIs and only explicitly grant the permission. Same goes for the browser, you have to give it explicit access to geo location, camera, etc. Yeah they’ll have a browser string and IP like every other website on the planet.
Your understanding of the technically seems deeply flawed.
Without being signed in to tiktok any link will poad and start playing the video without sound and with a huge popover prompt to sign in. I have to dismiss the sign in, unmute the sound, and then restart it. Same with facebook links.
I don’t care if a meme started on tiktok or facebook, but being linked to them is a dog shit experience.
Meh, I use tiktok, and that’s fine. You’ll use lemmy and get the content a week later after it’s been in reels for a bit.
Insert family guy you think you’re better than me meme.
I’m good having my data stolen by one country, don’t need to involve a second lol
Oh no, they see I’m watching Gaffigan and watch cars! Horrors!

I’m from Hong Kong. People have been sentenced to prison for wearing shirts with some of the words I have said. lol.
And I should be concerned as someone outside of China because? The vast majority of users here have absolutely zero chance of reprisal.
