At least Aalto University is considering whether it can continue using Tiktok due to the recent revelations. For many public actors, Tiktok is an important tool for reaching the public.
The information security gaps revealed on Tiktok also raise serious questions for Finnish authorities and media houses. Can they operate on a platform that is known to be able to harvest its users’ passwords?
It is possible for the Chinese-owned Tiktok to monitor, for example, the text entered on the keyboard in its own in-app browser. In theory, it would thus be possible for Tiktok to gain access to information such as credit card information or passwords.
Of the applications examined, only Tiktok did not allow the user to switch to the phone’s default browser. According to Krause, it’s about conscious programming.
Tiktok has confirmed Krause’s observations as correct. The company emphasizes that monitoring is done to facilitate user-friendliness and not to collect personal information.
Tiktok is mainly used by 18-24 year olds. In Finland, many authorities also use the service to reach young people.

That is why it is perhaps a little surprising that Espoo did not receive city rights until January 1, 1972.
As a city, Espoo is younger than, for example, Järvenpää, Pieksämäki or Kerava. The city of Vantaa is, after all, a few years younger than Espoo.

Wagner was anti-Semitic and Hitler’s favorite composer. According to historian Hannu Salme, a European problem is condensed in Wagner.
The debate around Wagner continues more than 200 years after the composer’s birth. For many, the composer’s name brings to mind bad echoes, for example because of his anti-Semitism. Wagner spread hate speech, but on the other hand he also spoke for universal understanding.
