Reply to comment by AnAquaticOwl in ELI5: How is TikTok a national security risk? by mamawoman

one of the things tiktok can do is track your phone's keystrokes on other apps so theoretically they can get your banking password, passwords to all your other apps, and any other sensitive info, which you generally dont want other people to have

And they can target citizens from different countries with different suggestions.

Apparently Chinese tik tok is very educational.

Here in Canada, before I trained my algorithm, I saw a lot of boobs and political vids on a fresh account. Lots of young people dancing. Very mindless stuff.

The internet can be a tool of positive change if owners took a more active role against misinformation . America had the market cornered with Facebook, Twitter and snapchat. China knows what westerners want to see. If garbage is what you demand, garbage is what you get.
