Friendly reminder. TEMU is an information gathering tool supported by the Chinese government. It sells products cheaply to gain market share. They are really a data gathering company. It has been found to contain tools for privilage escalation.

But why?
They are a data company. Sell products dirt cheap to get market share to gather more data on users. names, addresses, mobile activity, gps locations, browser fingerprinting, etc. This helps to then remarket to you and encourage network effect. Along with now having a massive amount of data on US users. Every cheap drone or device they sell has its own app to use with it of questionable security and safty too.

Believe me they understood everything about ecommerce and Temu is really well realised. I'm pretty much addicted to. I need to sprend the word. Thanks for the warning ⚡
Manufactured goods are cheap in China so its like Google gives you Gmail free form your data. But these are real world items for your data.
