💬 Body

Though their privacy policy is very vague on this topic, third party research has shown that Bytedance-the company that owns tiktok-is using content posted on their platform to train AI. In an attempt to catch up with other platforms’ usage of AI, they are scraping for content at a much faster rate, and in much larger quantities, using the scraper bot Bytespider. There is no way to opt-out of your content being used to train their AI, so it is best to avoid it.

⚖ Verdict

Avoid
