well, yes most people dont know that about instagram and snapchat, but I do, main reasons why I was refusing both since years. I think tiktok is worse. I still hear people admitting it is much more addictive than facebook's platforms. that they are surprised how quickly it learns your "interests". and part of the app's functionality in code when it is opened? it is changing how it works when it detects a debugger? it behaved like malware from the beginning. it was spreading surprisingly fast too, I can't believe it was organic growth. at some point it was preinstalled bloatware on all new phones, besidss the ranks of facebook and twitter, maybe still is.
