I looked it up in the App store out of curiosity and holy crap that app almost as bad as TikTok for privacy. Though I suppose people jumping ship from TikTok aren't too concerned about data privacy or else they wouldn't have been using TikTok in the first place.

Fucking, lol. It's not even close. How did you find that conclusion?

Tiktok shares a ton with third parties and needs a lot more permissions.

I said "almost" as in both demand way too many, unnecessary privacy invasive permissions, so it's not much of an improvement. But please, don't let what I actually said get in the way of the argument you think you're having.
