With the change in TikTok ownership, TikTok users in the U.S. are collectively freaking out over the company’s updated privacy policy after being alerted to the changes through an in-app message.
The revised document details the U.S. joint venture’s conditions for using its service, including the specific location information it may collect.
Many users are also posting to social media about language found in the policy, which says that TikTok could collect sensitive information about its users, including their “sexual life or sexual orientation, status as transgender or nonbinary, citizenship or immigration status.”
The CCP was tracking all the same information before the US’s involvement.
I highly doubt the CCP was tracking immigration status for US residents
Thanks for letting us know you have no clue what we’re talking about. They literally sent a mandatory survey out in the new patch.
And people thought it being from China would mean their data would only be held by China when Google sharing data with China to be able to keep making money showed corporations don’t care and will sell out everyone to be able to keep raking in money.
Lot of naive people not realizing corporations whether it is west, east, or the upside down are in the business of data collection and sharing with no care for protecting domestic or international users.
