Why would it be different than all other apps/devices?
I don't know, it was called out by Trump back when it was newish.
Most if not all devices have telemetry “services” that will gather data. This is both hardware and software. This includes the OS itself.
Is there something about tiktok that sets it apart though, why did trump call out that app, was it because it's chinese?
I think it's because the data is undoubtedly going to CCP. And it's likely being used for something other than marketing and app stability monitoring.
Duh.
