TikTokers are actively adjusting their account settings and voicing serious privacy concerns after the platform rolled out a new “Local Feed” feature. According to Daily Dot, this addition shows videos from around a user’s specific area. It has reignited fears about doxxing and personal information exposure, especially after the company began collecting “precise location information” from users who agreed to it back in January.
This recent move by TikTok, along with censorship concerns, has some users contemplating deleting their accounts that boast hundreds of thousands of followers, despite the platform’s new ownership trying to reassure everyone. It’s a tricky situation for sure when your digital real estate feels compromised.
