Can TikTok track our location while we watch videos? It can’t be ruled out: that’s what we think.
Rumors that social networks considered our location, turned out to be partially true. For example, when we register an account on a platform or when we give permission to track where we are located for example, it is not so wrong as a situation and should be taken lightly. Sometimes such an inconvenient and somewhat terrifying “request” cannot be ignored.
And this also applies to TikTok, for example, especially for complaints made about the service in question. It all started with some former employees of the social network, who wanted to report on a widespread problem and perhaps underestimated by many users: Location tracking. It may seem like an unnecessary theme, it is true, if it is not reserved for a certain class of people.
TikTok tracks the location of its users, but not all: its list is limited to those who view certain content
Employees say that only users who were included in the circle Saw gay content on TikTok, so it is a collection of data aimed at taking into account some user history rather than all data In this regard, the social network defended itself by arguing that the idea was to protect LGBTQ+ content from malicious individuals or reposts edited to discredit the institution. Former employees, however, think differently.
Dashboards that provided access to visualizations of tracked data were accessible by all employees, even those not reviewing such interactions. Data and permissions are even monitored Where it was not necessary to do soWhich means that TikTok – according to the staff, of course – may not have been as sincere as it has been saying recently.
This controversy has caused further uproar in the US, which is now more certain that social networks want to be breached Privacy and National Security Act American territory. It is assumed that those data may be used for more than inconvenient manipulation contexts, or that they may be sold to third parties. In short, thinking about it at this moment is more than negative and above all, how can he be blamed for obvious reasons.
