Reddit CEO Calls TikTok 'Spyware,' 'Parasitic'

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is calling social media app TikTok "parasitic" in nature. 

At a forum Wednesday, he urged people not to install that spyware on their phone. 

TikTok has been growing in popularity despite concerns of its ties to the Chinese government. It was developed by a Beijing company. 

Huffman says the app is always listening and uses fingerprinting technology that he says is terrifying.
