Saw a bunch of people worried about the TikTok US privacy policy, specifically the long section of data they're collecting. This TechCrunch article has a good overview - that part's not new, and the specific wording is because of California's privacy law. A bunch of other social media apps have exactly the same stuff in their terms. https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/23/tiktok-users-freak-out-over-apps-immigration-status-collection-heres-what-it-means/

Looks like this specific disclosure has been in their privacy policy since at least 2024, maybe earlier.
