Chinese spyware / potential propaganda distribution machine.
Just like Facebook and Instagram, the world would be a better place without such big platforms owned by authoritarian/elitists towards controlling the narratives and poisoning democracy with misinformation. In this case it's slightly worse, because at least Instagram and Facebook that I know of don't try to conceal actual malware in their apps.

@Funlov Dude, I write code for a living, I'm pretty confident I can categorize something as spyware or not even without FoxNews (which doesn't even exist where I live) 😜
TikTok (app) was reversed and it was found to do all kind of nasty tracking sh*t, and above all accessing APIs that a social media app should never need to access (including but not limited to: other apps installed, hardware profiling, sensors, everything network related including unique identifiers, IP addresses, NAT configuration, whether the phone is rooted/jailbroken)

@Elessar doesn’t impress me the right code for living what I got to do with it. I have two brothers in the military and a father that was in there for 30 years. I’m sure they know a lot more than you fucking do so you’re not impressing me so shut up with your bullshit people like you put fear into other people you don’t know shit you’re just all talk your keyboard jockey

@Funlov It's you, dude. You've got butth*rt because you don't like accepting the harsh reality that your toy is actually the clientside of a large-scale Chinese malware network, that conceals all kind of nasty stuff, and that is soon to be progressively restricted/banned for obvious national security reasons.
