Teens love TikTok but others are worried about privacy and graphic content 1. From the perspective of teens, TikTok is a major new outlet for self-expression, one which is proudly home to the silly, the loud and the weird. To others, the Chinese­ owned online video service is an unnerving black box that could be sharing information with the Chinese government, facilitating espionage 1, or just promoting videos and songs some parents consider lewd. (TikTok denies the first two concerns 5 and says it's working on the third.) 2. Welcome to the world of TikTok, an emerging social-media powerhouse that lets users create and share short videos, many of them no longer than 15 seconds. "That's where the Gen Z party is," says Kory Marchisotto, chief marketer for e./.f. Cosmetics. "That's where they're all hanging out." TikTok draws so much attention 10 because it's the first China-owned social-media service to make serious inroads in the west. People have downloaded TikTok 1.65 billion times, and the NFL, Chipotle, Reese Witherspoon, and The Washington Post all have accounts. 3. To many users, what's special is TikTok's 'goofiness' and sense of genuine fun. To use, just download the app and start swiping through videos. You don't have to 'friend' 15 anyone or search for anything to watch. If you don't go looking for it, you might not ever come across angry political discussions, much less envy-generating vacation shots from friends. Instead, you'll be likely to encounter a barrage of funny, memes and videos from total strangers that TikTok spools up for you, personalizing the feed as you go. 20 4. Politics, of course, is still there; so is the social-media plague of misinformation. (TikTok says it prohibits harmful misinformation.) 5. The service has helped launch musical stars like Lil Nas X. There are pranksters, funny skits, behind-the-scenes of fast-food operations and "glow-ups" (before-and­ after shots of someone putting on makeup). Some users say TikTok is more authentic 25 than the self-consciously pretty and polished lnstagram. Emilie Richer, a 19-year-old from Simcoe, Ont., says she uses lnstagram for 'photos that look nice, or (to show) the good things I'm doing' and TikTok to 'get loose, make jokes, pull pranks and dress up weird.' A TikTok video of Richer catching a pickle thrown into her mouth went viral in November. 30 Copyright Reserved Please Turn Over

Downloaded from hlayiso.com NSC - Grade 11 TikTok’s rise, fuelled in part by ads on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, has in turn shaken those U.S. services. The company behind Snapchat started listing TikTok as a competitor in 2019. Facebook, which famously copies features of its rivals, launched a knock-off called Lasso in 2018 and added TikTok type video-editing features to Instagram. Beyond rivalries, concerns range from the sexual nature of some videos to censorship? by China’s communist government. India and Indonesia temporarily banned TikTok because of worries about children. Anastasia Basil, a Los Angeles writer whose children are 10 and 12, says she was upset by the explicit lyrics in songs and “extremes of sexualized content” she saw. TikTok is working hard to ensure that it's a “safe and positive environment,” says Kudzi Chikumbu, the company’s head of creator partnerships. TikTok has fleshed out its community guidelines on what is allowed. It offers a restricted mode for inappropriate content and limited accounts for under-13 users, although it does not verify ages. Last year, the company agreed to a $5.7 million USD fine over collecting personal information from kids under 13. The company says it deletes “wrongly created” accounts, such as those of underage users with fake birthdates, when they are reported by other users. But many security experts worry about the information sucked up by the service. People's social connections, biometric data and interests that would be useful to an advertiser could also assist a hostile government in cultivating spies or tracking dissidents®. News reports have asserted that TikTok has banned videos and topics in line with Beijing’s own censorship rules. TikTok now insists that it doesn’t do so, nor would it, even if the Chinese government asked it to. As for spying, the company denies it and says it stores U.S. user data in the U.S. and Singapore, not China. 9. Not everyone buys that. Adapted from an article by T Arbel, The Associated Press, 2 March 2020 35 40 45 50 55 GLOSSARY espionage’: the practice of spying or of using spies, typically by governments to obtain political and military information. censorship: the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security. dissidents*: a person who opposes official policy, especially that of an authoritarian state.
