TikTok even goes so far as to send the name of your wifi, your GPS location, your contact data etc. to their servers. Way too few people realise how scary TikTok actually is.

nothing scarier than user brown townytics. tiktok may SAY they are using this information to generate relevant results and optimize user experience, but we all know they're ACTUALLY selling your data to skynet.

we truly do live in a global dictatorship

it's amazing that it's 2020 and people still don't understand how absolutely vital brown townytics is for the development cycle of web services. without information on search preferences, specs, locational services, contacts and other specific user details, how is google supposed to help you find relevant search results? how can a social media platform (KEYWORD: SOCIAL) connect you with other people if they have no clue who you are or what you like?

i remember someone reverse-engineering the tiktok binary and being horrified at the stuff you could do with the app

take a look at the article its creepy stuff:

i mean, i was horrified that facebook collected every website you visited outside of facebook but this is next level
