TikTok is not the problem. The problem is “I have nothing to hide” mindset. People don’t care about privacy because “ignorance is bliss”. Some people are just not aware about risks of giving up on privacy and other put continence over privacy. Until the general perception of privacy changes, apps like TikTok will thrive.
