TikTok, now owned by a U.S.-based entity after splitting from ByteDance, has raised privacy concerns among users regarding its new policy that allows the collection of “precise location information.” The backlash includes users deleting the app over fears of invasive data practices, as the updated policy contrasts sharply with the previous one that did not permit GPS data collection. Additionally, TikTok outlines potential data collection of sensitive personal information, reflecting changes in legal compliance. Users can reportedly opt out of precise location sharing, but the specific functionality is not yet implemented.
