Not to be that guy but is there even any vertical video social media that currently provides what TikTok does as an exact competitor?

Youtube shorts is so horrendous I have it blocked via revanced.

This seems more like an excuse to get rid of competition than spyware allegations. It's not like CISA has some big report on TikTok software dump. Everything they do is mirrored by Facebook down to the COPPA violations that congress doesn't seem to care Zuck is abusing.
