有报道指TikTok曾避开Google Android私隐保护原则 收集用户唯一识别码
据《华尔街日报》报道,分析後发现TikTok避开Google Android操作系统的一项私隐保护原则,从数百万部移动设备上收集唯一识别码,这些数据让该应用程式可在未让用户有退出选择的情况下在线追踪用户。而从该报测试显示,TikTok已於去年11月停止这种做法。
报道又引述手机安全专家表示,TikTok通过一层不同寻常的额外加密来隐藏这一做法,做法似乎违反Google限制应用程式追踪用户的政策,而且并未向TikTok用户披露。
TikTok收集的识别码称做MAC地址,通常被用於广告目的。美国白宫早前曾表示,担心用户数据可能落入中国政府手中,并被用来建立详细的个人档案用於勒索或从事间谍活动。TikTok则表示不会与中国政府共享数据,且若被要求共享也不会提供。
