TikTok unlawfully tracks your shopping habits – and your use of dating apps

TikTok tracks its users even if they're using other apps. The video platform therefore also knows what dating app you use

By the way, this article I wrote for Pride Month on queer dating apps is also applicable to anyone using any dating apps.

I highly recommend a read if
you are currently using a dating app,
or have been in the past and have not deleted your data and account yet:

#DatingApps Need to Learn How #Consent Works

Staying safe whilst #dating online should not be the responsibility of users—dating apps should be prioritizing our #privacy by default, & laws should require companies to prioritize user privacy over profit. But dating apps are taking shortcuts in safeguarding the privacy & #security of users in favour of developing & deploying #AI tools on their platforms, sometimes by using your most personal info to train their AI tools.

New Privacy Guides article 🌈👁️‍🗨️
by me:

When talking about data privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences, it's inevitable to also discuss queer dating apps.

Many factors contribute in making queer people more likely to seek love and friendship online.

Unfortunately, dating apps are horrible for data privacy, and it's even worse for queer dating apps.

As we cover data privacy and LGBTQ+ experiences this June, it's inevitable that we must talk about dating apps.

Unfortunately, many of them are horrible when it comes to preserving your privacy.

Where do you fall on the gay man binary: Top or Bottom? Well, what if you're NEITHER? You just might be a Side! Hien Pham sheds light on gay men who just don't go for penetrative anal sex.

#Webcomic #Autobio #SexEd #DatingApps

Hien Pham illustrates his comic with a simplified-realistic style with lovingly rendered hair details that sweep along his characters. He uses a full spectrum of colors and rich textures. Narration: Dr. Joe Kort, a sex and relationship therapist, coined the term Side in his 2013 online article "Guys on the 'Side': Looking Beyond Gay Tops and Bottoms". To put simply, a Side is a gay man who does not prefer penetrative anal sex.  A series of dating profile cards fans across the page. There are three that take the forefront.      One card is titled, "HAIRY BOTTOM" and is pink and purple hued showing a selfie of a fat man with curly brown hair and a full short beard. The middle card is labeled "SIDE BEAR", featuring a candid photo of a tall man with slicked back pink hair, rectangular glasses, and a neat full beard who is getting his cheek licked by a dog.  The third card peeks out from under the stack of profiles with the title, "TOP NOW". A short man with fluffy blond-dyed hair, circular glasses, and mutton chops beard poses in a summery suit, clearly in a group picture but he has cropped out the others so the focus is on him. The stats of that profile are obscured. Narration: It's only within the last few years that the biggest gay dating apps have started to allow their users to identify as Sides. The rest of the preview is obscured by a ribbon that reads "Read the rest on Oh Joy Sex Toy"
