People should be leery of every Chinese app they install.

That picture frame you bought for Xmas. That RGB light strip you got for the backyard that is app controlled. That impossibly cheap set of speakers, that once again, require a shady app to work right. I don’t care how locked down we think our phones are, I have no doubt that these Chinese apps are harvesting our data. Temu is probably no different. Red China is dumping a bunch of cheap crap into our mailboxes and those low prices are, in part, being made up by stealing our data.
