The popular social network TikTok it is not going through its best moment. Actually has exceeded 1.000 billion downloads, partly supported by the lockdown caused by the coronavirus. But it seems that this social network could have its days numbered.
More than anything because, the application developed by Bytedance it has already been banned in India. And the thing seems that it is going to go to major.
To begin with, the Hong Kong government has decided ban TikTok, so this social network will no longer be accessible within a few days. And something similar is being considered by the United States Government, which could ban it soon. The reason? It can be used as a mass surveillance tool.
TikTok could be collecting user data without your permission
Apparently, the well-known social network created by the Chinese company Bytedance, is collecting user data without their permission. And for this reason several countries are going to ban them, and many others are seriously considering it. As stated by the Government of India «the collection of such data, its extraction and profiling by elements hostile to the national security and defense of India. '
Also, the problem is that TikTok is linked to several associations that support the Government of Beijing, and this has caused suspicions to increase. To give you the idea, external analysts have made it clear that "TikTok is a data collection service disguised as a social network", they have also added that "violates the law in various ways while exploiting the data of its users, mainly teenagers«.
We will have to see how the thing ends, but for now it is clear that TikTok is going to be banned in several countries of great importance. Will the same happen in Spain? At the moment we do not believe it, but if the European Union carries out a veto, we are very afraid that this social network has its days numbered.
