How China Uses TikTok To Spy On You
TikTok. An app that has had over 2 billion downloads across 154 countries. The first Chinese social media app to gain big traction outside of China, it has formed part of our daily lives over the past few months, where lockdown has turned many of us into TikTok addicts.
But recently, concerns have been raised when it comes to the app’s ownership history. TikTok was bought by multi-billion dollar ByteDance, which in turn is partly owned by the Chinese government.
One Reddit user decided to inspect the app’s code to determine if TikTok is actually a “data collection service” that disguises itself as a social media. The post’s author stresses the fact that, a few months ago, a leak was found to be publicising people’s primary and secondary email addresses, real names, birthdays and more.
So is China Spying on The US?
