- 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.
