Tik Tok most likely isn’t China’s first, primary nor only way of gathering info/intel about you and everybody else. So why is this different?

Google and FB are subject to US and EU law. They are blocked in China. You can still get on them, but not via any public or even in-home wi-fi in China. No one cares about the personal content Tik Tok collects from its users. It's that Tik Tok, like WeChat (Chinese version of WhatsApp), worms its way into all the other apps and data on your cell phone. And they can usually get into your laptop from there.
