PrivacyPod #24: TikTok Knows What You Did Last Summer

Aug 24, 2022

We're back from our summer break! This week on the podcast we discuss privacy and security issues in in-app browsers. Many apps do some tracking, but TikTok seems to win the price this time around on being the most intrusive social media app in this regard. Panu and Milla are disagreeing on what level of concerned one should be about this. We also discuss the Finnish Prime Minister's party scandal (from a very serious privacy angle, not just gossiping), the Danish DPA banning the use of Chromebooks in schools and lots more.
