> Wasn't it shown that TikTok (and LinkedIn to be fair) was accessing camera and/or clipboard when it didn't need to? There's a gigantic list of apps that were revealed to be accessing things like the clipboard in iOS 14. I just installed the beta, and I found that my credit union's app reads the clipboard every time I open it. My third-party reddit app does the same thing. TikTok doing it isn't really even news. There are dozens to hundreds of apps doing it, and it's likely a bug.

Yea TikTok being mentioned was just clickbait/political because it was a Chinese app.

  Given how this administration behaves, it's just occurred to me that it's also equally likely that TikTok is being singled out because it was used to coordinate the bogus Trump rally ticket reservations. Any time a firm, app, or organization does something to offend or inconvenience the man, he launches an attack against it. There's certainly a pattern of this behaviour.

    “Anti-US” interests could very well mean anti current administration.

    This is what I think it really is. Tiktok was used to embarrass Trump. Tiktok is now a national security target. @jack @ Twitter was his target for a week once they tagged his posts as noT factual.
