Yeah, that was my point. I'm not sure what's so breath taking about what ByteDance is doing. I'm not a fan. But, with Meta, Google, Microsoft and I'll throw on Amazon, a huge chunk of the general public's web activity is tracked. Everywhere. All the time. The people have spoken, they are okay with being tracked. I've yet to talk with a non-technical person who was shocked that their online activity was tracked. They know it is. They assume it is. ByteDance's range of telemetry does not matter to them. Just wanna keep on tiktok'ing. Why does telemetry sent to Bytedance matter? Is it a China thing? I'm not concerned about a data profile on me in China. I'm concerned about the ones here in the US. I'll stop. I'm not sure I have a coherent point.

Luckily for you (and many others) there is no requirement that points be coherent.
