TikTok has been the center of all controversies since its inception in 2016. Recently American podcaster and UFC commentator Joe Rogan has brought to light some significant concerns about the app’s usage.
In episode number 1847 of his very own podcast the Joe Rogan Experience, he shared some details of the Chinese app’s policies. According to the JRE host, the company’s Terms of Service are very intrusive. Joe explained that TikTok has access to data such as a user’s mobile apps, file titles, IP address, model no and even typing patterns.
Further speaking about the policy Rogan said, “We may also associate you with information collected from devices other than those you use to login to the platform … Meaning, they can use other computers that you’re not even using to log into TikTok [and] they can suck the data off that.”
The app has become very popular over the internet and has over 1 billion users across the globe. Because of the app’s policies, many countries have placed the app under heavy scrutiny while some have completely banned the app. Even former US president Donald Trump tried to place a ban on the app.
