It depends. I’ve heard second hand accounts that TikTok can push pro-Chinese propaganda, and whenever I pointed out that China isn’t some lefty paradise to some people in my life they were either shocked or fell into the “you’re falling in line with the Western Propaganda, I see 😏”
I’m much less concerned with what they’re giving than what they’re taking with the app. It’s been shown to collect message history and photo library data, that alone is a threat to us all.
Why would I care? Is it somehow better for google or facebook to profit off of my data? China doesn’t even solely own the app. They don’t even own enough of the app to censor it and so it’s banned in China lmao
TikTok is banned in China because they don’t have enough ownership to censor it but ok. I’m sure it’s whatever you just made up too because China bad and reasons.

I agree! Both are issues, but I was giving a different context where a TikTok user may not care about it being under the thumb of the CCP.
