I hope it gets locked down further just like how Apple introduced App Tracking Transparency, to further reduce and make it harder for data collection like this so that it is not open to abuse, not just this but in all of iOS in general.

Whether if it is collecting biometric data, voice prints, reading the clipboard, collecting information around local network devices and now abusing the in-app browser to further collect user data, the same social networks will try anything to abuse the iOS system to collect as much data as they can.

Given that Facebook did the exact same invasive actions and was fined in the billions, there is enough evidence of these invasive data collection practices that TikTok has done over the years to be worthy of a multi-billion dollar fine.

There is no exceptions, excuses or any room for double standards.
