A lot of people are getting more concerned on how social media platforms such as TikTok collect their data or the amount of time they are spending on a daily basis while streaming videos on the internet.
A lot of us end up coming up with the idea of deactivating our social media accounts because we have ended up using them too much.
The good thing is you are doing the right thing, but the question on how to do it properly remains un-answered.
But before we start, let’s talk about some things about TikTok.
TikTok has been downloaded by over 2 billion people, which means that it is one of the hottest and most used social media platforms in the world. But the thing is, a lot of people are concerned about the fact that the application is run by ByteDance, a company that is based by China.
There has been a lot of debate going on if the application is being used as a surveillance tool for the Chinese government. TikTok does collect data, but not only that, they also censor data that is considered harmful by the government of China. Not only that, but if the government of China asks the company to give them all the data that they have, the company would have no other option but to comply, considering that the Chinese government is known to brutally charge companies that do not comply with their laws.
This has led a lot of people to delete the application and their account on the platform.
Now back to the topic, how to permanently your TikTok account.
