I would very much like to see this go to trial. Not specifically about tiktok, but it might start to shead some light data tracking and privacy by apps in general.

I'm in social media marketing and do a lot of business analytics for tik tok, meta, and Google. I can say what I can harness from each platform for free is horrifyingly accurate and specific. If I pay for ads it'll be even more specific. I can tell my Google ad to Target single women with car lease coming to end, mean income of 50-70k, with 2 children, in (zip code) who likes off roading.

It's scary

Oh ya. I have researched the topic heavily, and am a front end dev, who has done a LOT of SEO work for marketing/advertising firms and SEO focused companies. The tools are very scary, even at the free tiers.

Read about the Twitter Files which Elon recently released to the public. The FBI and the CIA even had secret moderators at twitter that had access to see DMs, and artificially pump/dump trends.
