A privacy advocacy organization has escalated concerns by filing formal complaints with Austria's data protection authority against several major platforms—TikTok, Grindr, and AppsFlyer—over alleged violations of regional privacy regulations. The complaints center on potential breaches that could expose users' sensitive personal information. This move highlights the increasing enforcement pressure on tech companies to comply with stringent data protection standards, particularly as regulators worldwide tighten scrutiny on how platforms handle user data. The case could set important precedent for privacy protections in the Web3 and broader tech ecosystem.

Someone should have taken care of these platforms long ago. Selling data secretly is really outrageous.

NGL, privacy in Europe is indeed strict, but these big platforms should have been taken down long ago.

It's about time to crack down hard on these platforms; data traffickers should be regulated.

It was about time someone took action. These platforms really need to be cleaned up.
