Tik Tok likely isn't going anywhere, they'll sell to someone able to keep it up and running. The Tik Tok allowed in China isn't the same one, so they don't have to worry about data being pulled from their citizens.

TikTok is a weaponized social media platform.

Why do you think that? That's an aggressive claim. I don't use it, but thats because it isn't my idea of fun, obviously many like it. Data collection happens everywhere, are you referring to kids eating tide pods or something?
