I suspected something like this, given how aggressive the marketing and ludicrous the claims have been.

Which is why I'm three times as suspicious of this site, which makes similarly ludicrous claims under the guise of malware research, like being able to DDoS a revealed MAC address. I am supposed to believe this article, whether or not it's true.

I understand the need to scattershot claims - if they just said 'TEMU has the ability to install packages onto your phone' then TEMU would issue some apology and release a new version that's sneakier about it.

But please, instead of smacking me in the face with a TOS/disclaimer that's supposed to ward off litigation over false/misleading claims, just don't publish false/misleading claims! Because that gives them the ammunition to say 'the stuff people are saying about TEMU is all lies'.
