TikTok tracked UK journalist via her cat's account - BBC News
A British journalist has said her TikTok account has been tracked and accessed by staff at the Chinese owned social network.
Cristina Criddle from the Financial Times had been working on a story about the culture inside TikTok's UK operation, when staff used her data to try to identify her sources.
TikTok's parent company said the staff responsible have now been fired.

TikTok is absolutely a security risk since it is owned by China, which is known to do this periodically. When you accept the terms of service, it allows TikTok (and many, many, many) other apps, to record video and audio *at will*, which means that it can turn on recording equipment on your phone without alerting you or getting your consent each time it turns them on. Beyond this, any data connected already to the account is stored by the app's company, and can potentially be mined at any point by anyone if they gain access. This can happen via sale (legal in many places), hacking, or a back door (most likely scenario in this case) that allows the parent company in China to gain access. To answer your first question, they did answer it- she got a call to look at the NYT article which talked about this issue. Presumably as a journalist she then did some digging. Third question is one that is not safe to publish publicly, though it is an interesting one.

"Tracked" by TikTok...Amazing.
Anyone remotely involved in any industry utilizing accounts and technology knows how easy it is to get your data compromised or client customers' data just out there in the open and accessible. I'm amazed how people are willing to pretend like they don't know how tracked and accessibly manipulated they are and aren't concerned about it. I get others' lives are so interpersonal they forget how dangerous the technology that drives these machines and the security holes in them.
I think anyone who studies/ studied AI or work in its field is aware that if you put anything related to you online, you are located.. not even your cat but might be even the cat of your ex.

Somehow there are some key details missing. How was she tracked, what was exactly tracked? For a technology and social media expert her statement was rather thin... Was the IP tracked, digital fingerprint, geo location or something else.? Is there some actual article somewhere with relevant information?
And that's why I don't use TikTok - its literally in the same league as self-harm these days, but for your mental health.

Another factor to consider is that China does not allow Western social media websites and apps to function in their territories however they expect us to be able to use theirs, which is a flaming double standard which further raises suspicion that they may have weaponized social media.

You could post porn on there if they didn't. And there is definitely something odd about her, outside of her being one of these creepy cat women. She seems well informed. Does anyone on here know when their facebook account has been looked at by Meta? I think she's there to spread propaganda... either that or she's a government employee masquerading as a journalist.

Wow, someone's data has been tracked on social media? How surprising.
TikTok’s stacking up against its big competitors like instagram and Facebook by looks of it
🐱 always gets you in trouble 😩😅
If you believe they were acting alone, I've got a bridge to sell you.
This personal data breach is not only important to journist or important person. Imagine, anybody can become an important person after grown up . Tik Tok may use the ages old data to track what silly things someone had done in the past. Everyone have weakness and wish to keep their little youngster secret to themselves. Tik Tok might 'leak' data to someone to go against you.
Naive to think if you put stuff out on the internet you can't be tracked.
Please do Weather next please
Is it Tiktok just because it's so popular, it's Chinese or would the same thing possibly happen with any app? At least my email and passwords have been leaked (maybe they were hacked idk) by several companies.
Don’t people read terms and conditions on the apps they download lol tic tok has access to too much phone info it’s scary
Newsflash every other app especially Instagram and Facebook do the same thing🙄
Journalist and high profile people should know better than to install and/or use TikTok at this point

A bit like Twitter I see, can’t trust the Blue Tick anymore.

Victim blaming
Well, well, well...looks like those adorable cat videos we love to watch are now the purrfect recipe for danger! Who knew that something so cute and innocent could be so deadly? The irony is just too claw-some to handle
