yeah but the content in the west is different to the one in china. we can't access Chinese tiktok and they can't access ours
Then why would they still leave in all of that data collection software? The app copies your photos, contacts, and text history. I'm not saying you're a liar, but it seems pretty ballsy for an American based company to do.
They can still use and profit from your data, they just know that there's a different culture and demand for content in the west that they can push towards the consumer to hook them more
