在使用Temu应用程序时,你应该担心自己的隐私吗?
If you were one of the 123.4 million people 看了今年的第18届超级碗,你可能还记得看到过其中一个 Temu’s “shop like a billionaire” commercials. 特穆支付了比赛期间的三个位置和两个赛后广告, with the in-game advertisement costing a reported $21 million.
As a Chinese-owned e-commerce discount store, 特木正在与已经很受欢迎的折扣店竞争, Shein, 因为节省成本而获得了许多美国青少年及其父母的认可. Although not always high-quality, Shein和Temu的前提是,你可以在不倾家荡产的情况下买到时髦的衣服. But cheapness comes at a price. Shein has dealt with several accounts of forced labor accusations. Temu has also been accused of similar actions, but recently, 他们因另一种担忧而受到抨击. A cybersecurity concern, that is.
Temu is now the target of several class action lawsuits, 其中一个声称一旦下载了Temu应用程序, it has access to nearly everything on a user’s phone. 这起诉讼指控Temu使用恶意软件和间谍软件收集在线购物应用程序所需的用户数据. 另一起诉讼称,Temu对用户数据粗心大意, 未能确保客户敏感数据的安全使用和存储. At this time, Temu denies all allegations.
And while at this point, the lawsuits are pending, 指控就是指控,了解如何识别和减轻与你下载的任何应用程序相关的隐私问题是很重要的.
