I am a cybersecurity engineer, and your claims are completely wrong. Most of your claims aren't even possible on any modern smartphone.

> They record you in your home talking through Alexa and Google Home

They explicitly need a warrant to this. A warrant from a farce of a secret court with no oversight, but it's misleading to say they do this to everyone.

> 1st when you agree to use the app you give them 100% control over your device.

Now the bullshittery begins. Absolutely not the case.

> they can take all your pics, videos anything on your phone

Not true at all. You explicitly have to let it.

> They can turn on your camera and mic whenever they want to record.

Ditto. Not possible unless you explitly give it permission.

> the Chinese govt can spy on you at your job. They can record you talking and take video.

Lmao fuck no, this simply isn't possible. Please learn how modern smartphone OSes work.

You have some valid points about government spying. But then you go completely off-the-rails into fantasy land when it comes to imagining what TikTok can do. Android and iOS simply are not dumb enough to allow any app to take control of your phone like you suggest.

Please stop using your sales position to try to convince people you know what you're talking about. You don't. And that's okay - I'm sure you were a great salesperson, but please don't spread fear, unrest, and despair about stuff you don't understand.
