A warning about the Temu app

I'll check with one of my daughter's before clicking on anything these days and definitely not buying from China

 

Had a good chuckle at the "logic"

"Temu is based in boston owned by pdd
Pdd is based in shangai
Therefore temu is COMMUNIST"

Im not saying it isnt a terrible app designed to get as much data as possible from users, just wondering why anyone thinks twitter fb amazon etc etc are any more "pure" in their actions and motives because they arent ... what? Communist? Seems like aggregating consumer data is a pretty capitalist thing to do too...

 

Great deals on Temu. Love the shoes & work boots.
Closet full of Temu.

 

Fb etc etc all want and do collect all the same data, theyre just a little better at hiding it.

Plenty of us based sites do all the same stuff, set up an account on virtually any website no matter the country and youll have calls and spam galore within 1 week.

Ever hear of stuxnet? Its as if you think the usa is blameless in aggressive cyberwarfare, we arent, we're just generally better at the stealth.

 

I had used a burner phone for years for broker loads. As well as a generic e mail address. I never downloaded the tracking apps on my business phone. Also gave my drivers burner phones. Didn’t want them to put that crap on personal phones.

 

Good idea
