I am considering installing TikTok. Any suggestion on how to make it less privacy-invasive?

I want to follow some people on tiktok, for the content they put out. I am, however, a somewhat privacy-minded person. Any suggestion on how to make TikTok less privacy-invasive? Some DNS app?

I am on Android, not rooted.

  • The only winning move with that platform is not to play with it at all. It's a privacy hellhole.

  • Do you want to use an account?

    Maybe you could use a frontend like proxitok in the browser instead, and bookmark the people you want to follow? Or maybe this works with RSS, but I don't know, never used proxitok.

    I don't actually know if it still works, or how well it ever worked, for that matter. But that would definitely be a lot more private than having the official app installed.

  • It seems to me viewing their content via TikTok's website is a good solution. Bonus points for private mode or clearing cookies afterward.
