I hate everything forced upon us.
It's not enough to say "Trackers are harmless, because I never see the ads"
Data is sold. You never know how it will be used. I'll bet that insurance companies buy it. They buy auto sensor data.
And that's my counter to the TikTok noise.
Our data, collected here in the U.S. of A. is sold, and who asks what the buyer will do with it (or even who the buyer is, behind some front). Classic example is Cambridge Analytica, housed in U.K., a nation of ill repute. 
Heck, weren't the GOP feeding Putin data?
I mean polling data, not the classified kind.
That's another matter.
