    And whatever you’re texting, and your geolocation, and your contacts, and anything else they want off your device.

      Plus good luck if you like psychedelics and shit. China can’t arrest you for DMT in the US, but the feds and local police sure as hell can.

      If you choose to share that information, and your statement is highly inaccurate. Tiktok does not have access to any of that stuff by default and you have to explicitly allow it access. They also do not have access to ‘whatever they want’. IOS and Android both use a containerized model and API to only allow access to approved APIs and only explicitly grant the permission. Same goes for the browser, you have to give it explicit access to geo location, camera, etc. Yeah they’ll have a browser string and IP like every other website on the planet.

      Your understanding of the technically seems deeply flawed.
