They determined that TikTok, on average, makes contact with 13 third-party domains \u2014 far higher than Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, or Snapchat. Although both YouTube and TikTok use an average of 14 trackers overall, 10 of YouTube\u2019s trackers are first-party contacts \u2014 meaning that it primarily deals with user data for its own purposes, such as determining relevant advertisements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/02\/08\/tiktok-shares-your-data-more-than-any-other-social-media-app-study.html\"><span>CNBC<\/span><\/a><span> explained, \u201cwith third-party trackers, it\u2019s essentially impossible to know who\u2019s tracking your data or what information they\u2019re collecting, from which posts you interact with \u2014 and how long you spend on each one \u2014 to your physical location and any other personal information you share with the app.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Security concerns with TikTok once drove the Trump administration to consider <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-trump-says-he-will-take-action-to-ban-chinese-owned-app-tiktok-from-u-s\"><span>banning<\/span><\/a><span> the platform in the United States. \u201cWith respect to Chinese apps on people\u2019s cell phones, I can assure you, the United States will get this one right too,\u201d former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said at the time. When asked if people should download the app, Pompeo responded: \u201cOnly if you want your private information in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In recent years, the cultural impact of TikTok \u2014 which features short-form, user-made videos \u2014 has been enormous. The platform was the most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tiktok-surges-past-instagram-and-snapchat-as-top-app-for-gen-z\"><span>visited<\/span><\/a><span> website in 2021, driving more internet traffic than Google. TikTok is particularly popular among children and teenagers, who constitute the plurality of the site\u2019s user base \u2014 and among American youth, TikTok is now more popular than Instagram and Snapchat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Most recently, billionaire rapper Kanye West had a public <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/kanye-west-thanks-candace-owens-for-saying-8-year-olds-shouldnt-have-tiktok\"><span>feud<\/span><\/a><span> with ex-wife Kim Kardashian for letting their 8-year-old daughter, North, have access to TikTok. West thanked Daily Wire host Candace Owens for speaking against Kardashian\u2019s parenting style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cTHANK YOU CANDACE FOR BEING THE ONLY NOTEWORTHY PERSON TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE,\u201d West shared on Instagram next to a screenshot of Owens\u2019 tweets. \u201cTHERE\u2019S A LOT OF CELEBRITIES SCARED TO SAY SOMETHING IN PUBLIC BUT THEY\u2019LL TEXT ME IN PRIVATE AND SAY THEIR ON MY SIDE I WILL NO LONGER PUT MY HAND THROUGH A BLENDER TO HUG MY CHILDREN.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>TikTok is also known as a bastion for left-leaning content. A report from the Daily Mail indicates that videos with the hashtag \u201cTrans\u201d have been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tiktok-videos-about-transgenderism-boast-26-billion-views\"><span>watched<\/span><\/a><span> more than 26 billion times. The outlet also noted that TikTok is locking arms with Stonewall \u2014 a LGBTQ organization in the United States \u2014 to promote the material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In order to expose the extent of TikTok\u2019s progressivism to the general public, an anonymous woman launched a social media empire called \u201cLibs of TikTok.\u201d She told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/02\/02\/the-mystery-woman-behind-the-viral-libs-of-tik-tok-account\/\"><span>the New York Post<\/span><\/a><span> in a recent interview that she quit her full-time job to run the project \u2014 yet \u201cdoes not do this for money or fame.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m not some politician or blue-check journalist,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd people feel like they have someone they can talk to when they have no one else to ask to help them spread it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWith me, they have a place to reach out to to get the message out,\u201d she added. \u201cI feel like there are so many small stories that are so important that aren\u2019t getting out \u2014 and that\u2019s what I\u2019m here for. It sometimes feels like a mini Project Veritas.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
