It's not about vertical video. It's not even about China.
It's about the obscene amount of tracking that TikTok does. It makes Instrgram's privacy violations look tame. It collects data on basically anything you can think of, and then uses it to show you exactly what you want, making it more addictive than most drugs while simultaneously having all of your data sold off.
