People actually installed temu? Every single ad they put out made it painfully obvious they were a scam app.

I don’t really have a problem believing this. There seem to be an increasing number of apps - often promoted through ads in social media - which are required to do operations that just as easily could be done via a website, but are likely a requirement in other to additional harvesting capabilities of an installed app or malware

When something has been agressively advertised as much as I’ve seen Temu, there’s no way I’m going to install that trash on my phone.

temu is a blatant scam even without the spyware. its sad so many people fall for it just so they can buy more cheap garbage.
