Delete TikTok!! /s While the reaction on HN has been pretty level headed, that isn't the case across other sites (e.g. see Reddit). This is the kind of coverage that undermines meaningful progress on privacy regulation and data usage. By purposely conflating valid access (i.e. through a permissions framework) with unfounded and unsubstantiated rumors, the press does more harm. IMHO, I don't think they care about privacy -- only about brow beating social media companies and tech in general.
