Before You Agree: What data does TikTok collect before Terms of Service? (jamesoclaire.com)

Just want to share my flow for seeing clear text the data coming in and out of TikTok on an android emulator.

Instructions here: https://github.com/ddxv/mobile-network-traffic

Article with some request/responses here: https://jamesoclaire.com/2024/02/02/what-data-does-tiktok-se...

I would love any feedback people have, I've been wanting to look into this for a long time, and of course the data they are collecting there is not particularly interesting.

I'm curious if anyone has any ideas for decrypting the `hex dump` binary / base64 data (it's not base64, but does look similar).
