TikTok is Spyware, just like Facebook and Google... so what gives

Like most social media and mobile applications, TikTok is a data vacuum. Though TikTok is one of the worst abusers of its user’s trust, it’s by no means alone. So why has this particular social media company drawn such bipartisan ire from the members of Congress?

There have been reports of the TikTok app listening on your microphone, watching via your camera, tracking your location, and reading every keystroke you type.
