    All this to say you’re fine with TikTok grabbing your passwords? Because you don’t want to be xenophobic? Weird line but you do you.

        Tiktok is Chinese spyware.

        Facebook is American spyware.

        Stop using them!

        End of story.

        This has nothing to do with being logged into TikTok. This is a link within the TikTok app keylogging credentials as they are entered.

        And for the record, “logged in” isn’t the same as “identified”. Browser and device fingerprinting is very much a thing, and is quite scary in how well it works.

        If you don’t think TikTok has CDNs (or that CDNs are used primarily for tracking?), it makes it clear you don’t actually know what you’re talking about.

        It’s clear you either don’t know, or are being disingenuous about, the dangers of a bad actor in current technology. Especially when most of your argument is “you don’t even need to log in, it’s just so safe!”

            “You don’t have to use the app, so it’s not bad that they can key log your info when using it.”

            Come the fuck on, there’s no way you’re a real person.

                You’re still not understanding what is being talked about.

                Here is the situation being talked about:

                • You open TikTok on your phone
                • There is a link to a site within the app
                • You open the site, it opens inside the TikTok app
                • You put information into the site
                • TikTok now has that information

                At no point is anyone claiming it’s unavoidable, or spread on countless websites. It’s the app that’s the issue, it’s the app that doing the keylogging.
