CEO calls TikTok 'fundamentally parasitic'
29 February, 2020
TikTok could be a sensation among the millennials but Reddit CEO and co-founder Steve Huffman has rather caustic views about the viral app.
According to TechCrunch, throughout a panel discussion at 'Social 2030' event with former public policy executive Elliot Schrage and former Facebook VP of Product Sam Lessin, Huffman said, "Maybe I'll regret this, but I can't even reach that level of thinking with them."
"Because I look at that application as so basically parasitic, that it is always listening, the fingerprinting technology they use is truly terrifying, and I could not bring myself to install an app like this on my phone," he is quoted as saying.
He went on to state, "I actively tell people, 'Don't install that spyware on your own phone'," the report added.
