TwitchingCheese comments on Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims

How about pass and enforce strong digital privacy protection laws you fucking cowards. When other countries spy on us it's scary and bad, but for US companies? Best we can do is ban porn and demand backdoors to stop E2EE messaging.

California (and a few other states) are trying. The CCPA and CPRA are a good step in the right direction. If you're a California resident, you can request all the data a business has collected about you, tell them to stop sharing it with business partners, or tell them to completely delete it, similar to the GDPR in Europe.

Oh don't worry, they're going to try and kill that too before it hurts them too much, and with the audacity of calling it the "American Privacy Rights Act". https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/eff-opposes-american-privacy-rights-act

I'm pretty sure Temu is Chinese.

That would hurt the advertising, spam, blackmail, malware, and propaganda industries. We can't rip out the economic spine of big tech since they pay the best bribes.

Unfortunately they care more about spying on us themselves.
