I seriously doubt this. You have to be very conscious to fully understand what it is these large platforms actually do “behind the scenes”. Unfortunately the vast majority of people imo is either completely oblivious or even worse, doesn’t care. I mean look at the immense success of tiktok. Numerous warnings that it’s nothing less than straight-up spyware from China, yet half the world happily continues to use it.
I have a friend that uses Tiktok. He has never posted a video on there, just watches crap.
He went to bed one night in August and mentioned that overnight, as he slept, the Tiktok app sent/received 8.6 gbs of data as he slept, the app was closed, screen locked.
I can only imagine what the Tiktok app does if you have a son/daughter with Tiktok on their phone (whether you know or not) and work for a state/federal government.

Very unsettling.
