00:00Surely you've read the countless Timu reviews about poor product quality, but what if I

00:03were to tell you that receiving shoddy goods should be the very least of your worries?

00:07Doesn't sound great, does it?

00:08I mean, sure, you can get some cheap headphones or a deal on a cashmere sweater, but what's

00:12the real cost?

00:13The answer to that is your privacy and security.

00:15Was it worth it?

00:16Timu spent an estimated $3 billion to launch in the US and even had a Super Bowl ad.

00:26And hats off to them for their wildly addictive app.

00:29By gamifying just about every aspect of it, they do a scarily good job at keeping users

00:33engaged.

00:34But according to Grizzly Research's damning report from September 2023, Timu is the most

00:39dangerous malware slash spyware package currently in widespread circulation.

00:44Google and Apple initially removed Timu from their stores over security worries, but it

00:48was reinstated after updates.

00:50Their privacy policy is vague and there's a US lawsuit alleging that it collects biometric

00:54and network data, raising questions about its true purpose.

00:57You gotta wonder, how can Timu be profitable if it's selling products for so cheap?

01:01Grizzly's report claims that PDD, Timu's parent company's true business model, is selling

01:06data in truly massive quantities.

01:08Because the selling of cheap knockoff goods is an unsustainable business model, the real

01:12money is in data.

01:14Moral of the story, delete the app.
