Joe Rogan Slams Tik-Tok Over Privacy Policy

Joe Rogan has slammed TikTok on his show after raising concerns about the privacy policies of the video sharing app and conditions of service recently.

In the most recent edition of his show, The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan listed what he discovered regarding the Terms of Service following the incident "went down an TikTok down a rabbit hole".

"It said that we collect certain data regarding the device you connect to the platform, including your IP address, the user region, etc.' This is truly insane," Rogan stated.

"'User agent Mobile carrier, user agent and time zone settings the identifiers used for advertising purposes and the type of device that you are using, device's operating system, the type of network devices IDs, the resolution of your screen, your operating system, application and file names and types'" he added, taking his cues from the terms of service. He then claimed that TikTok even was able to access the keystrokes of users.

"So they're keeping track of your keystrokes, meaning they're aware of everything you enter," he said. TikTok is run by Chinese company ByteDance, a Chinese company. Private enterprises operating in China must communicate data and information with Chinese authorities.

In the latest leak discovered by Gizmodo documents from the company provided instructions to TikTok staff to "downplay the parent company ByteDance and downplay The China connection," among other instructions to boost the image of TikTok in accordance with the leak.

TikTok's vice-president and head of public policy Michael Beckerman assured users that the brand new US Data Security ( USDS) division was working to "strengthen (their) security policy and protocol" in a July company report.

"The development of USDS was a significant achievement in our goals that we set out in the blog post of in the past two years which was about limiting employee access in U.S. user data and the transfer of data across countries and even to China," he wrote. "That data access comes with a number of strong controls, security measures such as encryption of certain data and authorization approval procedures overseen by the U.S.-based security staff," he added.

Rogan asserts the fact that TikTok has been "100 percent" designed to only gain access to personal information. The episode says it is likely that China will eventually get the information of every TikTok users. "It comes to China getting all your personal data," Rogan declared.
