    I meant the user on TikTok, I used “you” in a general sense. I apologize that wasn’t clear.

    And after a quick review of the links you posted (<5 min), it looks like he’s more a software design and ethics enthusiast than a privacy advocate. The fact that he has no privacy-friendly platforms on their website and the only ones listed are perhaps the worst for personal privacy (LinkedIn and TikTok) makes me more confident that my assessment is correct.

    It’s certainly not conclusive though, since other privacy advocates also tend to have accounts at those places (e.g. Naomi Brockwell has IG and Twitter (hasn’t updated to X lol) in addition to TikTok, LinkedIn, and YT, but she also has Odyssey, which is a step in the right direction. She’s looking for maximum reach, and her content is almost exclusively about privacy. I would prefer that she also have PeerTube, Matrix, etc, but she’s targeting a specific demographic here.

    So yeah, idk, but it definitely seems that privacy isn’t nearly as important to him as software ethics, and those are very different (though related) things.
