When you attempt to tweet from TikTok, instead of using the built-in iOS tweet function like every app, they forward you to this page. In theory they can do and see anything you do, minus Direct Messages. You don’t need these permissions even to automatically tweet new videos.pic.twitter.com/9AfxPrTEZi

What happened to the first tweet of this thread. Summed it up really well.

I’m sorry, although it was a real risk since they technically have the permission, I felt it better to let people draw their own conclusions. I’m a coward.

So they can use you as a bot and censor what you see. Excellent! I hate OAuth...

There is no longer a “built-in iOS tweet function”. https://www.imore.com/twitter-and-facebook-are-no-longer-integrated-ios-11 … It’s not clear if they could limit their access however.

Fuck TikTok. If I want someone spying on me I’ll stick with the NSA, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Google, Amazon, Apple, PornH, oops.

Failing that The NSA ask GCHQ.
