I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I’ve jokingly called them “buyer beware” sites even. Yet people still use them, and there’s just as many positive results as negative. But I’ve also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the “safest” if I DID wanna shop there?
Temu is worse than TikTok when it comes to exfiltration of your personal data.

You might want to also look at the Snopes report about TEMU as well. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/06/05/temu-shopping-app-scam-china-spyware/
That article states that another app they made and distributed in rural China did this. As far as I’m aware there’s no evidence temu does.
Certainly means they aren’t trust worthy but there’s no evidence temu is dangerous right?
Yes and usian apps don’t do that and certainly don’t fall under the Cloud Act and Patriot Act
Literally nobody asked.
Well on social media all comments are not replies. Bringing more information for that article
