Joe Rogan warns Americans about TikTok: China knows ‘every f—ing thing you type’
Don't ever get tech advice from "privacy activists" like Joe! Has no idea how the web works. The only thing he gets right is TikTok has everything you do on TikTok, and they are Chinese.
Even 25 years ago web servers got your machine, OS and browser info plus window resolution. It's essential to delivering web pages! Of course they have your IP address too. Join in a religious commune if you don't like it!
Mobile apps send their version to the server. But they have no access to other apps and files.

The stand-up comedian and host of the popular “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast on Spotify delved into TikTok’s terms of service on the most recent episode of his show.
“I read TikTok’s terms of service, I went down a TikTok rabbit hole yesterday … This is so crazy,” Rogan said Tuesday.
His guest, podcaster and comedian Theo Von, asked: “Is it good or bad?”
“Bad!” Rogan said.
“Listen to this, this is from TikTok’s privacy policy,” Rogan said.
“It said, ‘We collect certain information about the device you use to access the platform, such as your IP address, user region.’ This is really crazy.”
Rogan listed the other data being collected by the popular platform.
“‘User agent, mobile carrier, time zone settings, identifiers for advertising purpose, model of your device, the device system, network type, device IDs, your screen resolution and operating system, app and file names and types,'” he said. “So all your apps and all your file names, all the things you have filed away on your phone, they have access to that.”
He continued: “‘File names and types, keystroke patterns or rhythms.'”
