    I read through the first link you provided, it doesn’t align with your claim “TikTok OBJECTIVELY collects far lesser data than Big Tech apps and services.”

    We go section by section


    The companies collecting your face, voice & environment

    TikTok is worst here, collection all possible voice, face, environment data


    What can companies tell from image recognition?

    Again TikTok infer as much information as possible, worst among all listed.


    The later couple section did not mention tiktok, so I cannot compare it.

    Finally

    the 5 social media apps that know most about you

    TikTok ranked number 3 in among all the social media, above clubhouse and twitter, just below facebook and instagram.

      Now remove the need to use TikTok’s app and account, and count what all metrics get sent when you use it like that. You can use TikTok freely in any web browser. That makes it WAY better than any Western Big Tech services.

      And no, TikTok is NOT the worst in any category, and is far below Facebook and Instagram.

      You misinterpret the data shown in there, and ignore what I said about not needing an account. Services like Instagram make it mandatory to have an account and its app to use it.
