Is it going to take "acts of civil war" to make TikTok tech staff obey the public's commands?

I am exploding with rage as TT are stubbornly, abusively, evilly, refusing to deliver on the very least a user should expect. Meaning the following:

(a) no moderation aka censorship (i.e dehumanizing abuse of the customer) - let alone automated censorship!!!

(b) no demands for ID - ever!!!

(c) a uniform/identical service for PC and smartphone users - acceptance of the fact that an "app" is an inferior substitute for a website, just as a smartphone is a (pathetically) inferior substitute for a laptop, and that no human ever chose/gave permission for either

(...damn it makes me sick with rage having to point this next lot out...)

(d) a scrollbar on the right hand side of the screen at all times, and what's more one that is thick and visible

(e) the option for users to switch-off/cancel the "creator videos"/"you might also like" sections - for these are worthless wastes/thieves of browser-memory-space - no-one wants them, no-one gave permission for them

(f - i) comments stored in table form, as on any web forum, with the option for users to sort them into chronological/popularity order - and a maximum limit on how many comments can be uploaded onto any page, and one which is in the four-digits, not five!

(f - ii) because of the above, no "disappearing"/"non-downloading"/"probable-shadow-banning" of comments - and no more of that blood-boilingly awful unforgiveable syndrome where, scrolling down the comments, the screen freezes/flickers/"struggles" to download the rest of the comments

(f - iii) acceptance of the fact that the comments sections, more than the actual videos, are the whole goddam point of the website, its reason to exist

(g) absolutely no "security procedures" which deny/ignore the fact that it is normal, as normal as breathing, for people to sign in from multiple IP addresses, maybe even two at once - doing so, with no automated "you-might-be-a-bot" abuse, is a basic human right
