TikTok can track its users’ every tap, keyboard input, and keystroke through its iOS in-app browser. 

Ex-Google Engineer and privacy researcher, Felix Krause published a report on Thursday which revealed that when TikTok users enter a website through a link on the iOS app, TikTok inserts code that can monitor much of their activity on these outside websites. 

The tracking would make it possible for TikTok to capture a user’s credit card information or password.

TikTok spyware follows everything you do, can capture passwords! Remember TikTok belongs to the Chinese communist party and Chinese military.

If you have this piece of sh*t on your phone, consider deleting it asap.

If you’re a Windows user, and I feel sorry for those trapped on Windows, you likely have heard that the upcoming Windows 10 is free and is loaded with Microsoft spyware and adware. Now it turns out that Microsoft is adding this spyware and adware into Win 7 and Win 8 via software updates, a processes called backporting. To make matters even worse, this spyware communicates with Microsoft’s servers through nonstandard channels within the OS, so the only currently known way to circumvent is with a customizable router firewall.
