    This is now a right wing propaganda machine. I deleted awhile ago.

    Several social media posts pointed to language in the new policy that describes the types of data TikTok may collect, including sensitive information such as “your racial or ethnic origin” as well as “sexual life or sexual orientation, status as transgender or nonbinary, citizenship or immigration status, or financial information.”

    Despite the social media uproar, that language does not appear to be new. An archived version of the policy from August 2024 includes the same provisions.
