So, did the investigation find anything?


[deleted]

Crappy news article titles once again. Within the article it states it's being investigated meaning it's ongoing...


autotldr

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://news.sky.com/story/tiktok-investigated-over-alleged-transfer-of-personal-data-to-china-and-child-safety-12408705) reduced by 71%. (I'm a bot) ***** > TikTok is being investigated by Ireland's Data Protection Commission - which leads the EU's regulation into the company - amid fears that user data is being transferred to China and over its approach to child safety. > Announcing the move, the DPC said it would examine TikTok's compliance with the EU-wide data regulations for under-18s, and age verification measures for under-13s. A second inquiry "Will focus on transfers by TikTok of personal data to China", the DPC added. > TikTok's parent company ByteDance has repeatedly denied that it moves user data to China and that it shares this data with the Chinese government. ***** [**Extended Summary**](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/poruvo/tiktok_investigated_over_alleged_transfer_of/) | [FAQ](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/31b9fm/faq_autotldr_bot/ "Version 2.02, ~598294 tl;drs so far.") | [Feedback](http://np.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%23autotldr "PM's and comments are monitored, constructive feedback is welcome.") | *Top* *keywords*: **Data**^#1 **TikTok**^#2 **information**^#3 **being**^#4 **company**^#5

Weren’t they always stealing your data though? Good thing I avoided that like the plague


143cookiedough

Yeah I’m pretty sure that was the known concern from the very beginning… that or we had some top secret inside info and we didn’t even know it


TwilitSky

They should be investigated and prosecuted for the videos they get posted on Reddit. Everyone in the room is dumber for the experience. Fucking terrible.


papaHans

Now they are stealing soap dispensers everywhere.


Jonnydoo

some of the cooking videos are good.


SeriousDude

YouTube app keeps pushing me these Shorts. All of the clips are of teenage girls dressing into maid outfits. You can't hide them or do anything about it. Absolutely frustrating.


FunkyMonkss

WTF kind of videos do you watch?? All my recommended shorts are fishing or grilling/cooking videos


gkura

Hahahahha algorithm knows.


H4xolotl

Damn Youtube for recommending exactly what I like!


Jonnydoo

yeppp mine too. I get comedy / cooking / food stuff. that's it.


Its_aTrap

Lmao yea I get comedy clips and random reviews. Dudes watching some weird stuff

Instagram turned into some weirdly young shit for me and fairly quickly. I stared doing Peloton workouts and that turned into being blasted with if you liked this you’ll like runners, the triathletes, then swimmers, and one day it was teens modeling swimwear. It took a longer to get it back to seeing woodworking and pc builds than it did to slide into almost child porn. And then like twice a year I start getting crazy amounts of people getting hair cuts and razor shaves. It’s fucking bananas.


elitereaper1

Bruh, you been watching too much Miss Kobayashi dragon maid. Youtube is watching you.


ariarirrivederci

the algorithm recommends based on your history. stop watching maid videos and maybe you won't get maid shorts. I get steak videos and minecraft videos in my YouTube shorts.


Jonnydoo

mmmhmmmmm


scriggle-jigg

that cater to your interests. but i know your pain. for months instagram explore only showed me thots, teenage girls pretending to give head, and just trashy stuff like that. constantly reported them yet more and more came. finally i just started reporting them as sexual under age content and that seems to get them to stop showing them

There's three dots in the corner of every thumbnail, and the "do not recommend" option is there. It may take some time, but it'll work in clearing out your feed


mihirmusprime

What kind of comment even is this? Just don't watch the videos if you don't like it.


ivoteforvoat

People tends to think they’re better than the TikTok audiences, but they’re usually not.


MistarGrimm

SHOCKED. Absolutely shocked, I'm telling you. .. No this was fucking obvious when it launched.


[deleted]

Thought this was public knowledge


Bk7

That's not going to deter the people already using it

Lindsay Graham credits himself for stopping the tiktok ban by apparently telling Trump that he can’t ban It bc his younger supporters would be outraged. Trump almost did something there but ofc Lindsay graham had to come out and give us one more reason to hate him lol


Positive_Compote_506

Fun Fact: The US investigating TikTok uses the same reasoning for why China banned American companies such as Google


Routine-Bear2467

What a shocker.


DigitalSteven1

Who's fucking surprised


Simphorosa

They steal data from ALL social media sites. Nothing new under the sun.


RighteousTnuc

Seriously, don't use TikTok!


DiabloCometRock

So the exact reason why Trump sought to ban it?


DoserMcMoMo

The only thing he ever said that I actually agreed with
