And as they'll use mobile app, potentially a metric shit ton of more. Location, contacts, usage patterns, make/model of phone, other connected devices on your wifi and the list goes on and on. I'm not sure if they actually get everything they can like tiktok, but atleat theoretical possibility exists.
