You might not care about the security of information the Chinese government can harvest from you because you believe you "have nothing to hide," but at least consider how your complacency involuntarily affects the privacy of the people in your contact list, e.g., your parents, siblings, relatives, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, etc.

Yes, it is a scary thought process that they can access your information but TikTok has taught me more then school has taught me. Garrenteed most people think of it as a social media app of stupid things and unnecessary things but it is another form of intertainment and it can be learned for learning new and different things.

I think an adult should be able to do what they want, but I would always suggest it is done with the utmost critical discretion. I don't do TikTok, but if I did it would be very specific interest groups, like sports or wine, not politics or self esteem. And since I can get that many other places, I don't need TikTok and can safely avoid it's risks. Since youth are too easily influenced, they don't need to be brainwashed with stuff they have not mentally developed the ability to critically discern the difference between truth and poison (a twisted version of anything that isn't truth or reality).
