Fajny opis z Reddita, ktoś opowiada o tym co zbiera wszystkim znany i kochany TikTok ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

TikTok is a data collection service that is thinly-veiled as a social network. If there is an API to get information on you, your contacts, or your device... well, they're using it.

- Phone hardware (cpu type, number of course, hardware ids, screen dimensions, dpi, memory usage, disk space, etc)
Other apps you have installed (I've even seen some I've deleted show up in their analytics payload - maybe using as cached value?)

- Everything network-related (ip, local ip, router mac, your mac, wifi access point name)

- Whether or not you're rooted/jailbroken

- Some variants of the app had GPS pinging enabled at the time, roughly once every 30 seconds - this is enabled by default if you ever location-tag a post IIRC

- They set up a local proxy server on your device for "transcoding media", but that can be abused very easily as it has zero authentication

@mistellaire: nic dziwnego w końcu aplikacja od Chińczyków.

@mistellaire: Czyli to samo co każda korporacja

@Al-3_x: Z tą różnicą, że tą korporacją jest Komunistyczna Partia Chin która ma o wiele szersze zainteresowania niż sprzedanie tobie swoich produktów
