Reports are coming in about an apparent data breach of a large location seller [1]. Researchers like @fs0c131y.com had a look at a sample and extracted apps involved [2]. I looked into many of these apps on Google's Play Store and their privacy disclosures.

EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) does not permit targeted advertising based on profiling toward children (<18y) and TikTok said it would restrict types of data used to show ads. Data from TikTok’s ad library suggests no change with the enactment in the share of ads targeted toward users aged 13-17.📉📈

What’s happening on TikTok’s ad library? Almost all “top” ads first shown shortly after the official release do not display info on the size of targeted audience anymore. It seems like most of these ads do not use additional parameters (excluding gender/age) to target users, too. 📉📈
