2 months ago, Reddit user bangorlol made a comment in a discussion about TikTok. Bangorlol claimed to have successfully reverse-engineered it and shared what he learned about the Chinese video-sharing social networking service. Basically, he strongly recommended that people never use the app again, warning about its intrusive user tracking and other issues. Considering that TikTok was the 4th most popular free iPhone app download in 2019, this is quite alarming.
What follows is a series of screenshots that show how Tik Tok uses your phone's data.
Bottom line:

Kids are all about the Tik Tok - curious if parents will actually crack down here.

Actually, he doesn't. Executive orders have been abused for years. But be that as it may.
I'm wondering what else he would ban if he could. If Donald Trump on a censoring rampage doesn't rattle your slats, nothing will.
Thank god he's semi-literate.

It’s just getting sold to a US company. A little help in moving the process along quickly.

Whether he’s right or wrong, I have a feeling a Trump thinks Executive Orders are his only way to run things the way he would in a private company where the owner has full power.

It may be a good idea to ban TikTok since it is essentially Spyware, but I have the feeling that Trump has some other motive.

Agreed. He either has intelligence reports of TikTok’s spyware danger or he’s still pissed folks on TikTok conspired to buy all his Tulsa rally tickets and not show, so it would look bad. I think it’s both.

I repeat Tim Tok is being sold to a US company. Trump’s comment is essentially meaningless.
I repeat again...it’s in the sales process.

Nice company you have there. Shame we have to ban it.
Now, that's the art of a deal you can't refuse!
