A warning from cyber security experts about the TEMU app

From a data privacy standpoint this app seems concerning because of all the information they're asking for.

“If it is free, then YOU are probably the product.”

I knew this from day 1. Thanks for educating most of the people that dont know this. When a product is 80 to 90% cheap, there's always a catch. The only time I don't see it as a catch is if it's a church or a volunteering service giving for free to the homeless or extremely cheap to people who are struggling financially. And the bonus is, they use the funding for more charity or honest church related funding or activities.

Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

More than the selling data, Temu has been linked to malware being installed on users devices

I knew it was something to avoid when A: it says Shop like a billionaire. Billionaires dont buy cheap garbage. And B: its a Chinese company. Chinese companies are notorious for being pervasive.

I encourage you to look at the other information on this subject. There are more recent articles on this subject with some disturbing findings.

If Temu is like that, you shouldn't use Google Services 😅

Like Tiktok, Temu is extreme danger to our society

Android users. uninstalling is not completely uninstalling. It is said you must do a hard reset to completely get rid of it. Your carrier can help you save stuff to a cloud, pics etc.

I just uninstalled the Temu app thank you for the information

Deleting it won’t fix it. It’s able to recompile itself without the user knowing. It has _unrestricted_ access to the phone. Even a factory reset might not get rid of it completely.

I have a question, how does it work if you simply use the website, dos it have the same access?

[chloejohnstone]

thanks for this, ive been tempted to buy stuff on it because its cheap but now i realise its not safe

[ARMAGEDDONHASBEGUN]

or receiving super cheap tech gadgets with a USB connection and plugging it into your personal computer and infecting your computer with malware

[pessipenaldo]

When the video started I got a temu add 💀

[syrahkhan]

Is it a scam, anyone tell because I'm getting messages from temu in Canada

The mouse doesn't understand why the cheese is free.

[stonedrei]

why not ban almost all apps from china already?

[fgm]

Temu is a prime example of China's desire for economic and therefore military world domination and its imperialist megalomania.
