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

By default a lot of apps can collect a lot of information with your specific permission by the user agreement, and not by your specific permission by sucking other data off your phone. People who use TikTok are sharing at least some of their personal information with the app, but along with locational data and your face etc it can easily be stored and analyzed. Are they after YOU? Probably not. But what if it’s someone of influence or a family member of someone of influence – perhaps a company executive, or a government official, or military folks. Are they tracking your travel? Your conversations? Is the app “listening” to sound in an ambient environment, like what Alexa does? What else does someone do on their phone that the app can access?
These are the kinds of real or potential red flags that people are concerned about.
