According to former TikTok employees, the social media platform identified and kept lists of TikTok users who watched gay content on their app.
The TikTok Inc. building is seen in Culver City, Calif., on March 17, 2023. TikTok on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, rolled out updated rules and standards for content and users as it faces increasing pressure from Western authorities over concerns that material on the popular Chinese-owned video-sharing app could be used to push false information. The company released a reorganized set of community guidelines that include eight principles to guide content moderation decisions.
According to the allegations, the app"cataloged videos users watched under topics such as LGBT, short for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender." Additionally, ID numbers of some of these users were stored in a"dashboard" that"could be viewed by some employees." The outlet reported that"TikTok workers in the U.S., U.K. and Australia in 2020 and 2021 raised concerns about this practice to higher-level executives, saying they feared employees might share the data with outside parties, or that it could be used to blackmail users.
