TikTok - “massive-scale invasions of children’s privacy”

[k0rn]

I personally won't touch tik-tok with a ten foot pole. No doubt its a Chinese government propaganda mill. They are definitely siphoning off people's info. I was troubleshooting a network problem at home one night and found my partner's phone uploading massive amounts of data to servers hosted by tik-tok. Gigs and gigs worth - probably the entire contents of the phone.

That would explain why TikTok pushes so hard for users to install their app instead of viewing it in a browser
