TEMU Gets Even Shadier...

Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at a recent giveaway that TEMU performed where for a small amount of money (that they may or may not give) led to them collecting hordes of data they probably shouldn't have legally been allowed to. Thanks for watching!

[@wes773105333]

Chinese companies are obligated to hand over information to the CCP when requested. There is no "it's possible that yhe company will give information to their government". It is mandatory. Another thing to consider is "how does is it so cheap to send a cheap plastic item from across the world, but it costs me quite a bit more to ship the same item to someone in my own town?" The answer is that China uses its status as a "developing country" to take advantage of a program that subsidizes shipping from developing countries. If you live in a developed country, chances are some of your tax money is contributing to this program. China constantly tries to show that it is a developed country and is better than the West, but they will never willingly give up their status as a developing country because it would disqualify them from exploiting this program. Next time you get cheap shipping from China, remember that your country's tax dollars likely footed the rest ot the shipping bill.

A point I always see videos about TEMU miss, but is so important to point out, is that they are able to offer free shipping or cheap shipping on so much stuff because our taxes SUBSIDIZE THE SHIPPING. Our taxes are literally going to China to help them profit off us, all while crushing out local businesses who have to deal with very expensive local shipping. This is because China is still afforded "developing nation" status, which is ridiculous at this point.

[@snow56border]

well, and the fact that TEMU has multiple warehouses cranking out goods in a region that utilized forced labor. Its wild how they just have to throw money at people, and no one will cover them.

[@invertexyz]

@@snow56border Sure that helps. But if people had to actually pay the real cost of shipping individual items all the way from China, the locally made stuff would still come out on top generally, or at least be close enough in price that people wouldn't feel so burned by it. But yeah it's unfortunate, we're destroying our own economy, these regulations need to be updated to account for how things have changed in the past 20 years. I know last year the US government has started to push to strip them of that status, and of course the CCP is trying to use the fact they have bad per-capita GDP as the sole reason they still deserve it, even tho that's wealth inequality caused by their own greedy policies.

Remember, if you're not buying a product, YOU are the product. Or guess in this case there's no such thing as a free lunch

[@brickdogfunkybanana]

Product of my parents...I have no idea what you're talking about tho

[@sound4117]

But… you are buying products on temu…?

[@HellsJerome87]

Temu and PayPal are both dystopian corporations, so I am not surprised to see them team up.

[@Team_Fortress2]

Temu is never to be trusted.

[@SmokeyPyro]

Ive told several people, even people who i thought were quite critical thinkers.... "Ohh no temu is great!" They said after i told them its data harvesting

[@UltimateInkling]

Glad i didnt invest into it.

[@sound4117]

Comments like this are hilarious. Acting high and mighty to other people as if we aren’t all getting our data harvested in one way or another.

[@Robbie-mw5uu]

They say Temu is great because their private data is fine. Temu doesnt steal card information and it doesnt sell user data. I get span from giving my email to AutoZone, but I dont get spam from a fresh email linked to Temu. Think about who the real bad guys are.

[@SmokeyPyro]

@@sound4117 there is a clear difference between apps like tiktok or temu tho..

[@spacebassist]

​@@sound4117 data harvesting is practically a fact of life right now. difference with temu is that it's a wilful engagement with it and going along with a pyramid scheme. i know someone who doesn't want to listen and keeps saying the deals are great, even when i tell them it's a lot of cheap crap and "it comes at a cost to someone". they're a good person otherwise but they don't want to believe it's a bad thing and it sucks to see them get caught up in it (i've tried to explain it as best i can, i don't ride my own high horse while doing so. i'm self-aware enough to know i've been caught off-guard before. i just want them to stop using it) "critical thinkers" raises my eyebrow a little bit, i'll be honest, but there is a difference between "yes i'll watch youtube and make peace with google scraping my interests to sell to god knows who" and "for the love of god use my temu link, they're gonna give me FIFTY DOLLAR" seems like a lot of people learned nothing from Wish

[@coreynj]

The closest Amazon gets to "giveaways" is that if you write enough product reviews you might get selected to be part of their review program and you can select free stuff for them to send to you and you review it and get to keep it. It's mostly random junk from my own experience in the program.

[@awesomeferret]

Not true at all. There are literally "click on the box, see if you won a prize" giveaways run by Amazon (unless they discontinued that in the past few years). They are used as a promotional tool for third party sellers, not as a way to bring new customers to Amazon though.

[@steinthor]

Muta, you're fantastic, and your thumbnails especially never cease to make me laugh.

[@machination3e]

Temu came preloaded as bloat on my new phone 3 mos ago. So....good luck.

[@skummy1232]

Thank you for covering this

[@jedstanaland2897]

The shop like a billionaire is thing is a reference to the ability of billionaires to get extremely low priced items because they place huge orders for thousands of items or are manufactured by themselves and therefore they can get the items for very small amounts of money per individual item.

[@awesomeferret]

You're not talking about an individual billionaire shopping, you're referring to a business that a billionaire owns shopping. Your logic is invalid because the slogan is targeted at individual shoppers. No billionaire shops on Temu unless they are doing it for the lols. Aliexpress, sure, you can get parts for repairing electronics that you can't anywhere else. But not temu. 😂

[@jedstanaland2897]

@awesomeferret No what I'm talking about is absolutely true people who are extremely rich and want to purchase items for an extremely cheap price do exactly what I described when they do it they will typically do so as part of a business expense or otherwise in a way that allows them to basically purchase whatever they want and have it available whenever they want. I understand that it seems like they are able to purchase whatever they want for whatever price is asked however they really do exactly what I described. These things said I don't think that everything that a billionaire purchases is done that way only that it is sometimes. Your average super rich person helps to save themselves money by making massive purchases which are typically things like an entire year's supply of TP but it is still. They are able to do that kind of stuff and save themselves lots of time, money and other things. The other part of the slogan is that you are able to aquire something that you might not have been able to otherwise as if money was no obstacle.

[@awesomeferret]

@@jedstanaland2897 are you sure you want to argue to billionaires buy cheap Chinese junk in bulk... Come on. You even admitted that you were talking about a business expense. 😂 Toilet paper is the worst example too, considering 2020 when people of all incomes were doing what you said billionaires do. My gosh. 😂

[@jedstanaland2897]

@awesomeferret I was not saying that they do or always do purchase Chinese products only that people of high wealth are absolutely able to get items that they want mass produced or purchase items as if money isn't a potential problem or anything else. This is what their ads are trying to make it seem like you will experience by purchasing from them. If you want my opinion on what they are really doing its fairly simple, they mass produce items that are of questionable quality and value on such a massive scale that very few companies or countries have any chance to compete. This said they are probably part of the CCP draining the western world of financial stability slowly in a way that is harder for the majority of people to see and eventually they will basically be able to kinda purchase the ones that they have bankrupted.

[@Haarschmuckfachgeschafttadpole]

You're talking about drop shippers, which are lowlifes who don't want a real job. These companies are just cutting them out and selling directly to the customer.

[@BarFace]

I'm just about to watch this TEMU shady video and gues what? 😂 it starts off with a TEMU ad😂😂

[@baze_personal]

What just happened to the latest video about facebook?

I'm a bit late but thank you for sounding the alarm, Mutah! ❤

[@MEKplayer_]

[@marksamon5380]

[@ratking5629]

First time getting a notification when a video comes out and not the next day

[@Idontexist001]

I got a temu ad before this video 😂

[@Stevo.100]

I saw an ad for Temu and it said "sign up and get a free drone" and I thought even if it was the most cheapest drone that can't even get off the ground, that still doesn't seem right. So I looked into it and you need to spend a certain amount to get it... Not exactly "sign up and get a free drone". The false advertising is awful.

[@kubula5312]

Was getting bombarded with these drone ads as well. I already knew that temu is full of crap, but didn't look into these ads in particular. Awful false advertising, but not surprised, most of their ads are fake

[@drac.96]

Got a Temu ad right after this video. They're on to us viewers, man!

[@chrise8275]

There’s no way that anybody is going to convince me to shop on Temu.

[@chipmontana7714]

Was half way through the Facebook and Netflix messages videos then muta removed it dafuq

[@PnPproDuck]

The fact that i got a Temu ad after i clicked to watch this video is just pure golden irony

You would see them on KZbin but most KZbin creators block out certain word phrases

I learned my lesson with wish, temu is not better.

[@RobertCentric]

I got "lock and lube" and Temu commercials out the gate here. Then greeted by the usual enthusiastic intro ...sitting here getting the eye from my wife whilst I am unable to explain why I'm laughing so much.

[@ag_hunnigan]

TEMU is the sum of all fears to people like me. I used to work in the e-com business and it always shocked me to see how much info a recommendation-engine is able to gather. Even though we have stricter laws in Europe concerning data privacy, I am paranoid about that stuff. And to think that a chinese company with their " more liberal" rules on privacy processes my data ... 😮

[@jonathananderson1728]

Cant get over the way Mudahar says Teemew

They have become the Shadowbenders, the Night-crawlers, the Cave-dwellers, the Shade kings; they might aswell be the Darkness itself.

[@trieet9827]

I spoke to an attorney, what basically you gives Temu the rights to uses anything at your disposal free of charges because you accept that $50 under ToS, and there's no mentions of how long it would be, aka, forever, even after u are 6ft under. Also, even if you try to sue Temu for shady practices, you accepted that $50 as a contract, in any case, it would favor Temu. For example: if they uses your images or social media as a reference to 1 of their faulty products that accidentally kill people, the liability will be on "YOU", YES, YOU.

[@wesker911]

Plus Chinese laws are not American laws you'd never make it to court.

[@davidhowell1415]

And a Temu ad before the video was hilarious

[@asole100]

[@Bunnyspot66]

Hi Muta! Could you please address the disgusting and inhumane cat torture ring going on in China? They keep posting livestreams on telegram and other platforms of their horrible acts, there is a youtuber by the name: YardFish that also addresses this in his most recent uploads. Please, do help spread awareness and do stay safe 🤎
