My TikTok app suddenly has a whole feed for the area I live in, AND my normal feed is infiltrated with local content. I don’t have any location stuff enabled and all location data is deleted…I’m sure it’s based on IP and whatnot. I just want it to stop. I do not want any type of local content in any way. Tips??

My girlfriend (Chinese) went to China. I had to Install wechat for that. I didn't give it any permissions and of course used a random username with random picture.

Now I'm still a little worried about how much it can spy? Yes, I know everything that goes through the app is public data. I'm also aware it knows about my IP etc.

But how much can it spy on my phone (OnePlus nord CE32 lite) with up to date Security patches? I'm wondering how much it could spy my Internet activity and usuage of other apps (like reading along with reddit, whatsapp etc.).

I ask this cause of I'm curious of how you guys feel about this feature.

Currently it's completely optional here. But hearing about how they'll handle such videos like that including even them asking for a extra video selfie from you is quite concerning for what purpose they would need another one here.

i have a latpop with a touchscreen is my digital fingerprint unique because of it? (the touchscreen is built in)

if so what do you do?

(not asking about literal fingerprints on hands)

the question im asking is does the website (weather or not i use it) know that i have a touchscreen

Hello, I realised that reddit deactivated my +18 nsfw access and now is asking me ID verification or photo. I am not from UK, wtf is this?

Amazon's new Bee wearables record every conversation around you all day and use it to suggest what to buy, and nobody you're talking to ever agreed to that

Like what gives, how blatant can it be that they just want to squeeze data out of me. You know i'm an adult, fuck off

I couldn't repost the thread on this sub, but a quick google: Savannah officer lets her husband (who works for ICE) use her credentials to access flock surveillance.

I'd like to say this shocks me, but it doesn't. And short of... activities I won't promote, there is just nothing we can do? We just have to let this happen because it's making people money?

Yesterday my reddit account got hit with the age verification banner. Not a chance in hell that I would submit my id or selfie to Persona. So I tried going through threads where people claimed to have tricked the system. Tried a lot of things, but nothing really worked... However I believe while trying to trick the selfie process with a 3d model face on my laptop screen, my face may have appeared in front of the camera for a split moment. Still, the process with the 3d face said it failed. Then I gave up yesterday. However today I am suddenly able to access nsfw subs... What I cant help thinking about is whether they captured my face in the split moment when it appeared on camera and processed it. The process works like, it counds down from 3 to 0 and the pic is clicked automatically but I moved my face away before the counter ended so it shouldn't have clicked the photo. I dont know for sure how these rat bastards work.

Anyone any clue why I can suddenly accesss nsfw stuff again?
