Eli5: Why does tiktok know when I’ve downloaded a new game on my PS5?

1.14K views

Downloaded Hunt: Showdown, and tiktok immediately started showing me videos of the game. Didn’t speak the name out loud, didn’t text about it to anyone, didn’t google anything about it. Does Sony share info with tiktok, or could it have recognized the soundtrack of the game through my mic or something?

Edit: the phone is never on the wifi where the console is, so it’s not that.

Because you didn’t read the T.O.S. where it told you that by agreeing to this, you allow that program to use your network to collect data from anything else connected.

You literally gave TikTok permission to collect/use your data for whatever they want. You agreed to that.
