    I don’t really have a problem believing this. There seem to be an increasing number of apps - often promoted through ads in social media - which are required to do operations that just as easily could be done via a website, but are likely a requirement in other to additional harvesting capabilities of an installed app or malware

    People actually installed temu? Every single ad they put out made it painfully obvious they were a scam app.

    When something has been agressively advertised as much as I’ve seen Temu, there’s no way I’m going to install that trash on my phone.

    temu is a blatant scam even without the spyware. its sad so many people fall for it just so they can buy more cheap garbage.
