I'm on the verge of closing my account and removing TikTok from my phone. This partially because of the new Canadian action, but mostly because of its content moderation stance that silence counts as copyright content. It's two sides of the same coin, I think: on the one hand, exercising arbitrary control over the content, and on the other hand "unacceptably invasive-by-design, treat(ing) users as raw material for personal data surveillance, and fall(ing) short on transparency about their data sharing practices." And thus TikTok falls into the junk pile where Facebook and Twitter already reside.
