TEMU app software has the full array of characteristics of the most aggressive forms of malware/spyware.
Thanks for the warning. I think Mark Zuckerberg wrote this himself.
TikTok's real crime is that it killed Instagram.

Beware of it. The advertisements tend to lean towards bathing suits and intimate apparel.

We see rampant user manipulation, chain-letter-like affinity scams to drive signups, and overall, the most aggressive and questionable techniques to manipulate large numbers of people to install the app.All of which you can avoid with common sense. But where is the alarm about “data exfiltration” that started the article? What is that all about? Just stealing credit card numbers? Worse? Blackmail? Worse?

We are still not nearing the full story about Temu.

I saw an ad for something interesting and clicked on it. It made me click some permission form and give email address in order to view site. It was Temu. Next day, I read article that said Temu was spyware. I tried to see if it downloaded anything, but I really don’t know how. Worrisome. :(

Very detailed report on the Chicom buy-cheap-junk app. Looking to make wise use of the funds God provides, I have bought many things from TEMU using my desktop computer, but never used our ministries smartphone (inferior to desktop for shopping, forums, research, etc.) to buy anything.
But where else can you get such items as gospel T-shirts such as this for $6.74 and free shipping?:
$7.01
$70.1 Also things like bike seat covers for under $1.50, etc. Half the price of Ebay and even far less than Amazon.
Thank God we can even but such, even while funding China, but as most everything you buy in America - if you can even get it - depends on countries with bad governments.

It should be blocked in the USA, along with tiktok.

Their ads pop up EVERYWHERE! It is very annoying but what can you do about it? I wouldn’t buy anything from them.

Temu like alibaba sells fake counterfeit products.
Both will sell you a 2000 dollar product for 200 if you are stupid enough to buy it.

I considered this app to buy my wife some Lenovo ear plugs ($6 to $11). Decided to research it a little...came away horrified. It is incredibly intrusive. The wife said “If it sounds to good to be true...it probably is.”.
