Attached: 1 image I'm not on the tiktok but if you are, delete it. New ToS gives permission for it to track citizenship status, religious beliefs, mental health diagnosis, sexual orientation and if you're trans. It's a surveillance tool.

A workaround to delete your #TikTok account without accepting the new TOS.

1. Turn off your phones wifi/data

2. Open app and click settings

3. Go to account page

4. Turn wifi back on

5. Delete account

The TOS popup won't appear when the internet is off. Being on the account tab prevents it.

Delete your #TikTok accounts and uninstall IMMEDIATELY

DO IT NOW

His friends are officially in the driver seat now

They will absolutely use this for TRACKING and other stuff
