This is the US TOS on the tiktok site. But I can't find the passage in that screenshot.

@therivercrow I mean, it does specifically say it collects that information *if the user provides it*.. i.e. in a video they’ve made. I always assumed they were collecting that tbh. It recommends videos based on the ones you’ve already watched so it has to know something about the content of that video. IMO this isn’t really new it’s just more explicit.

I read the Terms of Service in Tik Tok, and they do NOT get or share your citizenship or immigration status -

@therivercrow It's not that you are wrong, but I think all these data brokers know everything there is to know about all of us, and it would be trivial for them to create lists of undesirables when they decide to, and no deleting a single all will change that.
hopefully thats just doomerism and not quite true, but idk

@therivercrow Quick, get the barn door!
They already have all that shit, do you really expect that (lack of) words on an electronic document have stopped them?
No reason to not delete now though, of course. Better late than never, I guess. Just make sure there aren't any other apps ... or operating systems ... or hardware ... that are surveilling you, if it's a concern.

@therivercrow to be fair in a way, almost all the corporate social media tracks this at least indirectly (still hilarious when they started advertising trans color thigh high socks to me
)…so, really just as bad as the others. I suspect they were probably tracking this before within their algorithms too though, weren’t they? -

This is precisely the reason I closed my account after the hostile takeover of the platform by the US government. This is beyond overreach. -

@therivercrow It's been there since 2024. That doesn't make the app any less shit or concerning given the current state of the US, but it's not new.

@therivercrow absolutely not defending TikTok (stopped using it the day it was banned the first time), but do you have a more credible source than a screenshot from someone named Gee Deez Nutz? 🤨
