Graham Sutherland / Polynomial on Nostr: The Temu app collects a lot of telemetry, just like every other large retail app. ...
The Temu app collects a lot of telemetry, just like every other large retail app. Many of the claims around "stealing data" read like someone looking at a detailed Android app permissions list for the first time and being horrified by how many things apps ask for. Which is a problem, no doubt, but it isn't unique to Temu and does not in any way imply particular malice beyond the usual capitalism nonsense you'd find everywhere else.
