Through my boredom during quarantine I have become addicted to watching TikTok videos. Most of them are very cringeworthy, and some are hilarious in new and genius ways. To get an idea of what type of videos are on this app here is a montage of most of the most popular trends.
However, my friend put me on the trail of some hot new conspiracy theories about the app. Since the parent company of TikTok is based in China, there is a growing concern that the app is being used to spy on its users. Due to Chinese law, companies such as these are required to cooperate with Chinese government intelligence if asked. On the flip side, if someone where to be worried about this they should be worried about all apps because many track things such as location and use tendencies. Either way, I will probably still use the app because its a good way to kill an hour.
