Is it similar to what Meta in Instagram does? [0] - a week ago thread.

Yes and that’s literally the first link in the first sentence in the first paragraph of the article lol

TikTok is no different and is beyond worse than Meta at this point. Whatever Meta is doing doesn't excuse the reasons for this tracking.

Given that Facebook was fined in the billions for this abuse in the past, TikTok should also be fined for this with in the billions of dollars.

We have learned nothing around this and have repeated the same problems in social networks a decade later.

  • Fines, even that high, do not stop this, as we all see in no change in Meta actions.

    Also, cannot avoid thinking that Facebook was accused of (somewhat similar) web site spying long time before Tiktok existed.
