TIKTOK VS POLITICAL GAME

Washington 1august: Tik tok is called china's first international social media platform.

 it may also be the first to suffer because of china ,why is tik tok such a big deal and why is it a security worry let me give you a list that tik tok is recording about you ,and this is a very interesting list -

Every video that you upload how long you watch videos ,which videos you like ,which videos you share any messages you exchange, your age ,your contact list, your address, i can go on but here's a long and short of it tik-tok is invasive, and it is bound by law to share all of this data with the chinese government and this is just one part of the problem.

 our next report has more these 15 second videos were quite the rage, a few months back they were on one of the most popular social media apps  tik-tok a massive hit among young adults .

but now the company faces a backlash  tik-tok has been banned in india other rivals of china like the united states might ban it too and it's not just diplomacy.

 that's driving this techlash security researchers have looked under the hood of  tik-tok they fear the app is a data collection service masquerading as a social network.

 A part from details about every video you watch  tik-tok has full knowledge of what you do on the app,

 it knows the contents of the private messages exchanged on the platform according to the app's privacy policy.

 In the us  tik-tok collects your country location, internet address ,and the type of device you use and if you permit  tik-tok and map your exact location access your phone contacts, age ,phone number, and other social network connections, more criticism came  tik-tok way.

 In june it was found that the app was snooping on the clipboards of users the feature that allows someone to copy and paste.

 data from one app to another these privacy concerns have led to lawsuits, last year a class action lawsuit was fired against  tik-tok in california.

  Tik-tok's chinese origins don't help it either under china's security law the company will have to share user data if the chinese government demands.

 It the threat of snooping has led to several bans on  tik-tok beyond india. the u.s army and navy have banned it.

 the australian defense department banned  in january earlier this month.

 tick-tock was banned from all american government issued phones.

 now the trump administration is mulling a complete ban with respect to  tik-tok -  "I want to put it in the broader context we have been engaged in a constant evaluation about ensuring that we protect the privacy of american citizens and their information as a transit so this doesn't relate to any one particular business or company"

  in australia wants to talk ban tools so even if the app is banned there is another major concern data already collected by  tik-tok will remain stored with the company something that could still be accessed by anyone who has access to the servers of tick tock .

Lastly we can tell Tik tok is not a major app we use in our daily life ,we can do work without it ,so if there is a lot of problems delet it in your life.
