Would consider it right for a browser to snoop on every page opened, every link clicked, every character typed and send it to the cloud without informing the user?

No my point is why single out tiktok when every other social app is doing the same exact thing for all we know in their in-app browsers. Just because the researcher in this particular article happened to go after tiktok?

Why not use an example if you know they are doing it, if you don’t have time to lookup what all the others are doing? Its a pretty weak defense that everyone else is doing the same wrong thing.

It's not a defense, I'm simply asking why is everyone pilling on tiktok over some javascript trickery just bc they're deemed an enemy of the state by our all mighty government?
