TikTok Sued for BILLIONS over Misuse of Child Data

I mean, it could be not that big a deal, people can sue for however much money they want, but then it wouldn't make a good title. Anyways some English bird named Anne Longfield, a former Childs Commissioners (I don't know what that is) from Merry 'fucking' England is bringing the lawsuit to ByteDance owned TikTok on behalf of millions of children in the UK and EU who comprise a large proportion of the 800 million degenerate users of TikTok.

If successful, the children affected could each be owed thousands of pounds.

TikTok said the case was without merit and it would fight it.

Lawyers will allege that TikTok takes children's personal information, including phone numbers, videos, exact location and biometric data, without sufficient warning, transparency or the necessary consent required by law, and without children or parents knowing what is being done with that information.

Good. Big Tech can get fucked, and defending privacy against these vultures is always a good thing. And fuck TikTok on principle.

Is anything being done to Alphabet,Microsoft and Facebook? This is just protecting globalist big tech's monopoly from the Chinese imho. None of them respect anyones privacy. I mean lt's still a good thing but unless the others are getting hit too then it really only benefits the real enemy.

The case won't work.
ChiComs will just bribe the judges to dismiss the case.

My family and friends that use TikTok wonder why I don't use it. I use iFunny because it is at least funny for one, and for two? China doesn't monitor iFunny

The UK has stronger data protection rules than a lot of places. I'm not sad to see the likes of TikTok get a kicking.
