And finally, TikTok has come out with some news regarding privacy changes and increased control over data for users. According to TikTok:

“Starting today, we’re restricting the types of data that can be used to show ads to teens by region. This means that people in the United States aged 13 to 15 will no longer see personalized ads on TikTok based on their activities off TikTok and people in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland aged 13 to 17 will no longer see personalized ads on TikTok based on their activities on or off TikTok. We’re continuing to work toward providing all people on TikTok with transparency and controls so they can choose the experience that’s right for them.”

That’s all for now! We’ll see you next week.
