"Specifically, the policy states that TikTok could process information from users’ content or what they may share through surveys, including information about their “racial or ethnic origin, national origin, religious beliefs, mental or physical health diagnosis, sexual life or sexual orientation, status as transgender or nonbinary, citizenship or immigration status, or financial information.”"
...Just another confirmation that this generation since 2000 voluntarily gives away more personal information on their apps and toys then everyone combined before that date in the entire human history.
I'm a Gen-Xer, in the 90s the entire ethos of the "tech field" was basically cypher/cyber punk. It was pro-decentralization, pro-privacy. Somewhere around 2007 or so I started to notice a shift at places like HN and reddit, where younger entrants to the field started with a shoulder-shrug response....the 'eh, what can you do....you're tracked anyway'.
Now with Gen-Z I think there are beyond even "I'm aware I'm being tracked but accept it" and have moved into being completely unaware whats going on.
Its a very dangerous long term situation.
