Gizmodo Found 28,000 Apps Sending TikTok User Data
Under the dull roar of our great TikTok moral panic I’ve been trying to make the semi-nuanced point that while TikTok does present some legitimate privacy issues, a ban won’t fix the actual problem.

Thanks for this.. boosted. Just finished reading and THIS is the QUOTE!.. "TikTok is held up as some exceptional, unique threat to U.S. consumer privacy and national security, and it’s just not. The entire ecosystem is rotten and exploitable by bad actors of every stripe, and it’s rotten because we’ve spent the better part of the last generation prioritizing making money over market health, consumer welfare, or national security:" TRUTH!!
