BIGO LIVE for iOS: BIGO LIVE's Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions links are dead on Twitter Oauth page

iOS 13.5
BIGO LIVE for iOS (version
Date: 06/09/20

Description:

I just wrote about I what I believe to be the overly intrusive Twitter permissions requested by the BIGO LIVE app for iOS.

There's another issue. When a user exits the iOS app to BIGO LIVE's Twitter Oauth page, there are two dead links. BIGO LIVE's "Privacy Policy" and "Terms and Conditions" links on the Oauth page are dead.

Take a look at this screenshot:

The arrows in the screenshot are pointing to two dead links. These links are supposed to link to BIGO LIVE's Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. This is provided as one last opportunity for the user to browse these conditions, before handing over authorization for BIGO LIVE to access the user's Twitter account.

These links really should be working. The fact that they are not working when the app is asking for such intrusive access is troubling.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the app
2. Choose the Twitter option to create an account
3. From BIGO LIVE's Twitter Oauth page, click on the "Privacy Policy" or "Terms and Conditions" links

Result: The "Privacy Policy" and "Terms and Conditions" links on BIGO LIVE's Twitter Oauth login page do not work - they do not link to BIGO LIVE's legal information

Expected: The "Privacy Policy" and "Terms and Conditions" links on BIGO LIVE's Twitter Oauth login page really should be working
