> I'd trust Wikimedia's privacy policy a hell of a lot more than I'd trust TikTok's

Yes, of course. I wasn't clear, but I was referring to going through a search engine, not going directly to Wikipedia.

I'm afraid you've completely misunderstood what this subthread is about. The _quality_ of medical information and the privacy concerns involved in finding it (whether through Google or via tiktok's algorithm) are completely different topics. To be honest, I can't imagine how anyone could read these comments and come away thinking any comparison was being made (let alone equivalence being drawn) between quality vs privacy concerns.
