I did find the table comparing its permissions to others in the space...enlightening.

My kid bought something from Temu recently and it was ridiculously low-priced. I told him the quality must be terrible...and I was wrong. I was kind of shocked and wondered what the "catch" was.

Of course, I hadn't installed the app but wow, now I have the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it.

It's likely cheap because it's made with forced labor: https://apnews.com/article/temu-shein-forced-labor-china-de7...

Temu doesn't make stuff, they sell stuff. They sell the exact same stuff you can get on aliexpress, Amazon, and WalMart.

If there's forced labor it's not specific to them, it's specific to China.

Ugh.
