Facebook is paying for it

Well I mean, that does make sense. I still believe tiktok [https://youtu.be/Ti8v4eL8oIE](really is a bit of spyware) (sorry for the longish YouTube video) but that could definitely be a contributing factor to this case

google is also spyware.. so is facebook while we're at it and literally ANY OTHER APP YOU PUT ON YOUR PHONE. Ever notice how every single thing has an app? It's not to make it easy for you to buy stuff from them, it's so they can utilize your data to make them more money.
