How the fuck is that even legal to force opt in on location.
Google has gotten in a lot of shit for not properly letting people control that before and delete histories.

Apple forced an update on iphones that auto-updated TikTok, which now has mandatory reporting of your geolocation (including SIM card and GPS info). This geolocation sharing can’t be turned off in Settings like all other apps. It is greyed out for TikTok.
You think this is all coincidental?

“Legal” is now (more) dependant on political loyalty than it is actual jurisprudence.

Legal is whatever the fascist party leadership decrees.

“Apple”
“Forced”No, TikTok pushed out an update and you had auto updates turned on.
Go to Settings > Apps > App Store to turn this setting off.

There’s probably something similar on Android devices as well.

No way, for real?
Have a link for that? That is crazy if true.

Man, I really hope TilTok crashes and burns now. It’d be so fuckin funny if they went through this entire acquisition to have users completely abandon it.
