 Thanks for the elaboration on the requirements, @audrasjb.

 I'm not sure how to fully establish trustworthiness in this sort of
 feature. Here's some points to consider:

 * They have a huge user base & have an interest in providing a trustworthy
 embedding service to maintain a positive public image (...though, their
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ByteDance parent company] is privately held
 & not directly beholden to shareholders)
 * They've been [https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/27/18243510/tiktok-age-
 young-user-videos-ftc-settlement-13-childrens-privacy-law reasonably
 responsive] to COPA demands by the FTC
 * They [https://www.tiktok.com/forgood claim] to "(want) to inspire and
 encourage a new generation to have a positive impact on the planet and
 those around them."
 * They publish docs like:
   * https://support.tiktok.com/en/privacy-safety/community-policy-en
   * https://www.tiktok.com/legal/terms-of-use
   * https://www.tiktok.com/legal/law-enforcement


 I'm not sure that any of that qualifies them to provide unfiltered HTML,
 but it seems to have all the building blocks for a trustworthy service to
 me.
