    “Temu is designed to make this expansive access undetected, even by sophisticated users,” Griffin’s complaint said. “Once installed, Temu can recompile itself and change properties, including overriding the data privacy settings users believe they have in place.”

    That’s just nuts

      This is why companies like Apple are at least a tiny bit correct when they go on about app security and limiting code execution. The fact it aligns with their creed of controlling all of the technology they sell makes the whole debate a mess, though. And it does not excuse shitty behavior on their part.

      But damn

      And if they got this past Apple in their platforms. That’s even wilder.

      Yeah, it is. It’s such an extraordinary claim.

      One requiring extraordinary evidence that wasn’t provided.

      “It’s doing amazing hacks to access everything and it’s so good at it it’s undetectable!” Right, how convenient.
