  • TikTok tracks user activity across the internet, even for non-users, through its 'pixel' tracking tool.
  • The TikTok pixel collects sensitive data, including health and personal information, from various websites.
  • TikTok's data collection practices have expanded, raising privacy concerns among experts and users.
  • Users can protect their privacy by switching to more private browsers like DuckDuckGo or Brave, or by using tracker-blocking extensions.
  • Despite protective measures, data sharing between companies and tech giants like TikTok, Google, and Meta remains a significant privacy challenge.
  • Experts advocate for stronger privacy laws to address the broader issues within the advertising technology ecosystem.
