There is still no proof TikTok is spying on you for China - Business Insider

, Robert noted that a single report can't be expected to definitively prove whether or not TikTok poses a national security threat given it uses millions of lines of code."As far as we can see, in its current state, TikTok doesn't have a suspicious behavior and is not exfiltrating unusual data. Getting data about the user device is quite common in the mobile world and we would obtain similar results with Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and others," Robert's report concluded.

This vulnerability was the result of TikTok using insecure HTTP connections to download videos from its servers. "All other social media apps have long made the switch to secure HTTPS for all network connections, in effort to protect user privacy and data integrity. Bakry said there are "definitely legitimate concerns" around TikTok's security. "Whether it's intentional or merely the result of move-fast-and-break-things, the inadequate security of social media apps can pose a serious threat. These apps collect massive amounts of data from their users, and they become prime targets for bad actors seeking to steal information," he said.

"TikTok is led by an American CEO, with hundreds of employees and key leaders across safety, security, product, and public policy here in the US. We have no higher priority than promoting a safe and secure app experience for our users. We have never provided user data to the Chinese government, nor would we do so if asked," a TikTok spokesperson told Business Insider.

Why are Western social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and WhatsApp all banned in China, while CCP's social media such as Weibo, Zoom, TikTok and WeChat are allowed outside of China?

There’s no proof Facebook is spying on you 🤣

New definition of “spy” ?🧐

Never was. Our dictator wannabe POTUS used this as a campaign tool.

They will find proof Anne someone blows the whistle. That would be too late.

We all know that the GOP Chinese bogeyman narrative is a Red Herring to distract from their domestic failures at home.

Just gave me a brilliant idea. Let's all wait until it is proven conclusively enough for Business Insider.

I mean... wtf are they going to see? My kid recording herself eating Maccas or my other kid recording her ROBLOX characters. Not even I spy on them 😂😂

But amazon and Apple are definitely reading you emails
