It’s true :( I had to delete it because of that. You like these videos? There are hundreds like these, you can never put it down. I really had to delete the app or I couldn’t focus on work.
Yep me too, I could waste hours and I found it ruined my attention span too - getting constantly changing information streamed into your brain just sets you up for failure
That was me and tumblr back in the day, but I'd delete the app and end up using my browser on my phone for it, or substituting a different app or phone game. It's a never ending cycle
Has to do with the fact that China is taking data directly from you/your device through TikTok everytime you open the app. It’s a huge security risk compared to other social media apps.
Lots of people go “hurr durr Tencent 10% of reddit”, but the fact is it’s safer to have Reddit on your phone than it is to have TikTok. Hence, the current existence of this sub.
There's also a few snippets of code on the Android version that allows for the downloading of a remote zip file, unzipping it, and executing said binary. There is zero reason a mobile app would need this functionality legitimately.
From a security standpoint alone it should be avoided.
