TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

No? Why wouldn't they know? Lots of ways to track that data. Google and apple both keep that data for statistics and app popularity tracking.

I love that this guy thinks the multiple billion dollar companies that make his smart phone exist that we know are selling our data thinks those same comapanies aren't watching everything we do.

That's right buddy. Amidst all these articles about data mining, nobody is watching what you do on your phone.

Dude, you think they don't know when you uninstall an app? Bill Gates has audio of you jerking off and can name the type of porn and time and date he got the audio.
