Temu "surprised" by the lawsuit, plans to "vigorously defend" itself.

    The ‘But, everyone is a bit evil’ argument is such bullshit, the concern here is obviously the extent of the surveillance, but no one can say you’re entirely wrong because the definition of that is so broad.

    It’s kind of technical, but there are comparisons on the report itself, even a fancy table, to other popular shopping apps and there are some legitimately troubling items. For anyone else, I’d recommend skipping direct to the source:
