> Mr. CEO, can TikTok access my WiFi?

That wasn’t a bad or mock-worthy question at all. TikTok’s app requests access to devices on the user’s local network. Why does it do that? Officially in order to connect to TVs/speakers, but what else could it decide to do with the access it’s granted?

There is a separate permission at least on iOS where an app that is connected over wifi has access to the local network.

Of course an app that streams video over the internet can “access wifi”
