TikTok just dropped a new realistic beauty filter

The problem with TikTok isn't the filters. It's the password/clipboard scraping, the enormous level of data collection on its users, combined with the fact that TikTok is ultimately a wing of the Chinese Communist Party.

The whole point though is that undetectable filters are a new thing. Like the first video said, you used to be able to know when someone was using a filter or not, and that's not really true anymore.

Plus, as some of the other videos in that tweet thread say, it's not like these filters haven't fucked with people's heads already, e.g. the photographer who takes actual photos of people and then people look behind the camera and are shocked at how "ugly" they are because the filtered view is their baseline.
