They can access data on your phone (sd card, photo, files, email, social media accounts etc). [/quote]

If you have an iphone or know how to use your android, they can access what you've given them permission to access. [/quote]

I don’t have TikTok on my phone, never had it. Chinese developed tech isn’t trustworthy. (I work in cybersecurity.)[/quote]

I trust Apple’s software that lets me block access to photos, location data, contact, etc. from TikTok. [/quote]

Really? Apple has a majority of their manufacturing in China. You should also be concerned about how TikTok filters through the videos that can be seen in China vs outside of China. Its all dumb dancing videos here with a rabbit hole for young kids but in China its almost all educational.

It is long-term strategy. [/quote]

Something changed with TikTok.  I've never installed the app, and I don't have an account, but have gone to the site via web browser (which I also keep scrubbed against malware and tracking cookies) and last night I went on TikTok just to scroll through some things randomly and virtually all of it was foreign-language, hardly any US content came up by default.  That was previously not the case.[/quote]
