Millions of TikTok Accounts Deleted Overnight! Tech Giants are Stealing YOUR Information!

Millions of TikTok users around the world are being prompted to delete any online accounts associated with the content-sharing application TikTok. This is a result of the company being accused of selling its interface user’s collected data to Governments and data miners who are paying billions for it. This is a highly illegal operation as individuals are not offered to consent to this when registering an account with TikTok. The company may also be working with other sources of information to gain more knowledge of its audience, as information such as a person’s gender are somehow displayed on a user’s profile, however this information is never provided to TikTok’s database during account creation. This has lead to rising suspicion levels surrounding the Chinese company, a country in which the app is banned. BANNED in the country it was created in. The company has publicly stated that over 15 million accounts have been deactivated remotely by the users since accusations arose yesterday afternoon. Many country’s Governments are recommending that their population delete private and personal information stored in accounts registered with TikTok, in order to prevent as much of the data leak as possible. Nation leaders including Boris Johnson and President Biden have stated that they were not aware of the entire operation and will be inducing strict rules and regulations for people who choose to continue to use the social media site. Hopefully, these precautions will help prevent such an event from ever recurring.
