I am hesitant to use them, simply because a sister company (or a version of them which works in China only) has been caught in the past obtaining more information about buyers without their consent.

So I'd rather be safe than very sorry later on. I am reminded of the saying "If something is too good to be true, then you have to be extra careful".

Does claims seem far fetched. On my device the Temu app doesn't have access to my photos nor does it have any permissions to track any activities I do elsewhere on my phone

It does seem that the commentators on MyBB does have a modicum of brain damage when reading posts.

The word I used (Hesitant) was used because words do have meaning.
That word was used for good reasons and it is common sense that given the available information that one would be cautious.

If you read the Snopes (who is highly regarded by people with common sense) article, then you would have seen the dubious practices of the Parent Company and their developers in the past.

You might have even fond this at the end of that Snopes article - if you are one of those who suffer from ADHD

"On the other hand, the methods Temu's parent company uses, including its open disregard for privacy regulation and its desire to cheat its competition and harvest personal data for profit, are extremely concerning to U.S. security regulators. While there is presently no evidence that Temu itself is malware, the corporate history and business ethics of PDD Holdings makes these concerns legitimate, as well."

If that doesn't make one hesitant, thus to use common sense in order to be safe online, then you must be living in a parallel world.

Good grief. Seems that comprehension by readers on MyBB has drastically gone down recently.
