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.”
You know the CCP runs secret police operations in sovereign countries around the world, where they try to apply Chinese laws to residents of other countries outside of China, right?
They focus mainly on the Chinese diaspora, because they think they own them, but it’s not unthinkable that they might target anyone else if it advances their interests.
