Or it could be that we just don’t like apps that exist to Hoover up personal information and/or be state sponsored spying endpoints, no matter who makes them.

Correct answer, downvoted of course since this is HN. I personally don’t care about privacy too much, but the way TikTok operates and its ties with the Chinese government is more than a little concerning. The videos are fun, too bad about the content.

As someone that uses Keepass on Android, I find it extremely disturbing that it was reading my clipboard without permission.

Thankfully I only had TikTok for a day (ironically copied my TikTok password to the clipboard).

It would be correct if it didn’t ignore the fact that US-based companies do the exact same thing.
