If Cambridge Analytica has taught us anything, we should be thinking from the perspective of what's in the best interest of society rather than best interest of an individual.

I don't think CCCP data collection from TikTok would be very useful at targeting specific individuals. But the data set as a whole could be the equivalent of a nuclear bomb if exploited in pursuit of some nefarious goal (e.g. an outside country influencing the results of another country's political election)
