Comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan isn’t a fan of Tik Tok and warned Americans about using the platform during the Tuesday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
Rogan stated that using TikTok increases the risk that their data will end up in the hands of China after delving into the social media outlet’s terms of service.
“I read TikTok’s terms of service; I went down a TikTok rabbit hole yesterday … This is so crazy,” Rogan told his guest Theo Von.
“Listen to this, this is from TikTok’s privacy policy. 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.”
The podcaster went into detail about other data that the popular platform collects.
“‘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,’” Rogan 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 … So they’re monitoring your keystrokes, which means they know every f—ing thing you type.”
Von interjected by asking Rogan to tell him where this all concludes, to which the comedian replied: “It ends with China having all of your data.”
