    TikTok isn’t great, but it’s hardly the “worst spyware”.

    Here is a comparison of actual spyware threats and different apps.

    Here is the report itself regarding TEMU and how it actually IS spyware.

      I think in this particular case the problem isn’t so much the spyware side of things as the content of the videos, and the trends which makes videos popular on tiktok, which aren’t conducive to the promotion of factual content at all.

        I was replying to the claim of “voluntarily installing some of the worst spyware”.
