This article is incorrect. The application does not require a phone number or a connected social media account to register, and you do not need to verify your email address. Location settings (at least on Android) can be completely disabled very easily.

sam99061414 Youtube already kept me busy enough, as long as I know how to find videos that I interested, high quality & LONG (What? 15 seconds limit at TikTok? Enough to meh for me.)

Yes Facebook Twitter, snapchat and Instagram too right?

Quick everyone hate China! The west is a paragon of virtue and honesty. We only care about human rights!! The only way to make them see reason is to escalate!!!

Everyone should delete Facebook Google, Messenger, Twitter... They do way more damage than Tiltok ever could to democracy and humane culture

TikTok is the best artor of the year ! 😄

No difference between tiktok and other social media platforms. They all steal ur data.

Ok Boomer.

Have to love when they use geopolitical propaganda to slander a app for dancing 😂🤣👍🏻

Trump has no reach on TikTok...young people and young celebrities do. Influence. QED

No obviously. Google, Facebook and snapchat all doing exactly the same thing as tik tok.

TikTok uses location data. If you're happy with the CCP knowing where you live, then keep it on your phone!

Political issue Not love of our safety

You better delete Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc and all your Google apps if you think Tik Tok is dangerous 😂😂😏

How am I gonna learn the shuffle dance

Karen... please don't go!

What is the Guardian and should everybody stop reading that neocon mouthpiece parading as a 'liberal' and 'progressist' paper ?

It makes me smile, which is rather important in these miserable times.

We have deleted from our country India😁

So apparently whatever comes from china is evil and what comes from the west good? Do whatever u want but i will not delete it n that will not make america great again instead it will strengthen china the more!!

Yes

I have enough trouble keeping up with Facebook and Twitter to engage in any more apps. Then again, I’m not their demographic.

This ridiculous fake fight with China is pathetic. We will be digging the streets up for years, at the cost of £Billions because Trump told us to. Everything we have is Chinese. Iphones are made in China, if they want to bug us they can, they don't need 5G to do it.

Ja neviem co to je ? To je nejaka aplikacia ? Nie som IT technik. Lubos

The same thing that Twitter, Google, and Facebook are. Want to continue making confessions? lmao

Makes me laugh, when i read a news regarding a social media platform on another platform.

I'm still not interesting about this app

they can have my data fuck they gone do? advertise things i like? sick

Install, give 1 star & negative feedback, and then delete...

Never made an account but did delete when heard this couple months ago
