The images Q referenced are NOT the original images. WTF.
I just checked in photoshop. The photos that journalist on the TicToc Twitter account are LARGER than the ones Q called "originals," and are at a higher resolution (higher megapixels), despite Q's files being larger. You don't magically create more pixels out of nowhere.
Anons, this looks really bad. I'm performing additional analysis, but frankly, this just looks like someone screencapping something on their phone and reposting…
I don't want to doubt Q, but I need an explanation for this.
