I'm confused by this. Aren't apps sandboxed fairly hard? How would TikTok get any data outside of what's allowed by Apple/Android's app APIs? If they're getting more information than that, isn't that up to the OS to limit?

I think one of the more recent allegations (past few days) is that it may be copying the clipboard of iPhones. I've only seen evidence that it was making an API call that can be used maliciously. It's definitely suspect given the value of the intel.

The number of info that listed are fairly esay to collect via the STANDARD APIs and without extra approve to access bascially.
