I do not get the focus on TikTok. Yes, it read your clipboard content… just like Snapchat, Instagram, Reddit, etc. Most security researchers agree that TikTok is among the more restrained social media apps, when it comes to gathering user data.
This is a bad look for the social media landscape in general, not TikTok specifically.
- dna_polymerase 6y agoBut TikTok is Chinese and therefore bad. At least that is what the orange man tells us. Surveillance capitalism is an American invention, China just copied that.

- supermatt 6y agoto be honest, it was just that tiktok was publicised as doing so. I have nothing against tiktok, and do not like this witch hunt myself - it was just a recent example.
