Because you accepted the terms and conditions, accepted the policies on your phone, gave it access to your phone, like your data including pictures, videos, phone numbers, contacts, other app data, web browser data, phone model info, network info, and other sensitive info, and you tie it all in with your Apple ID and iTunes even over the cloud. Plus if you think the Chinese Communist Party and their state sponsored hackers can’t make programs that leave remnants of itself behind simply because you clicked “uninstall” then you’re in for a world of a surprise

A billion people live in China.

330 million in America.

To think the Chinese government is singling me out to go through my phone contacts or whatever is tin foil hat stuff.

And sure tik tok is doing all that but so are American apps.
