TikTok tracked UK journalist via her cat's account
- hulitu 4y ago> TikTok tracked UK journalist via her cat's account So in UK cats have online acvounts ? How about fishes ?
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 3y agoApparently. But if the cat was running the account how does that let its owner be tracked?
- qbrass 3y agoThat's why cats need their own phones.

- suddenclarity 4y agoSeems a bit reckless by the journalist. I listened to another journalist yesterday and she ditched all her electronic devices when meeting a source to avoid being tracked. Meanwhile this journalist walks around with the app and tracking of the company she is investigating. Surely no one can claim they didn't know, especially a tech journalist.

- euroderf 3y agoThere should be a market for trustworthy 12yo's (say, the kid of a journalistic colleague?) to take your devices around town to "interesting" places while you meet a source.

- markx2 3y ago"looked at the location of Cristina's IP address - the unique number of a device" Someone should have spotted and corrected that.
