> TikTok OBJECTIVELY collects far lesser data than Big Tech apps and services

This is not true for a number of reasons, first being that once the data gets sent to a Chinese server, it's gone. It's like a void. Those "data collections analysis" can speculate, but they truly have no idea what happens with that data.
Another reason that TikTok is as bad as Instagram, is that they farmed *all* the data from the in-app browser. Every click, scroll,  everything.

You can argue that they have a different approach to data farming, and they do: they try and rope you in, trick you into *giving* them your data. But it's demonstrable wrong to say that they collect less data. I wouldn't say they collect *more* data than typical west social media platforms, but I think it's disingenuous to say they're somehow better.
