    Basically, most social media reads out everything that is openly accessible, like cookies, address books and contacts, etc.
    TikTok goes deeper, it has been watched going into protected files, trying to break encryptions (sometimes being successful).

      Damn, didn’t know about this, but, what if Big Tech has also been doing this, but with more perfection, without getting caught?

          how is it speculative that big tech steals your data. Google, Amazon, microsoft, every single big internet conglomerate sell your data. Its a fact, and is widely reported.
