What exactly about the tiktok app makes it Chinese spyware? Has it been proven it can do something?

As someone with a security background this app has LOTS of red flags.
* Code that nobody can look at to see what it does.
* requiring way to many permissions.
* Asking for way too much personal information
* keystroke capturing
* Own by the Chinese government – they are FAMOUS for stealing information.
Think about it like this: If a person has it on their phone, and uses it to log things like passwords to things that are important – then that gives the app a way to tell the Chinese government HOW to get into things. In a cyber war – you just gave them the keys to the front gate thus your fucked.
As a security minded person, I’ve never used it nor would I ever use it. It is WAY to dangerous.
