OP changed the title, it nowhere says "any other app".
- capableweb 5y agoReading the title at cnbc right now says "TikTok shares your data more than any other social media app — and it’s unclear where it goes, study says" for me. I guess it was edited to get shorter and within the 80 character limit that HN has for submission titles.
- waffleiron 5y ago"TikTok shares your data more than any other social media app" fits easily in the 80 character limit. No need to change "any other social media app" to "any other app" for that reason. This feels like it's actively trying to mislead people.
- capableweb 5y agoUnless they wanna keep the "and it’s unclear where it goes" part of course, which seems like they wanted to. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that there can be multiple reasons, and it's not that obvious of why. In any other way, social media applications surely are the ones that extract the most data, and TikTok being on top of that list makes it to the top of the list of total applications too.
