- It lowers video resolution
- It may identify and tag individuals without their explicit consent (Correct answer)
- It blocks monetization on tagged videos

- Feeling tired after watching too many videos
- Users blindly accepting privacy terms due to overexposure to repeated consent requests (Correct answer)
- Platforms becoming tired of enforcing privacy rules
- Reduced engagement from overly long video content
Correct answer: Users blindly accepting privacy terms due to overexposure to repeated consent requests
Consent fatigue occurs when users habitually click 'agree' without reading terms, unknowingly granting broad data permissions.

- Deleted immediately with no backup retention
- Up to 90 days on backup systems before permanent deletion (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Up to 90 days on backup systems before permanent deletion
Meta's policy states deleted content may remain on backup servers for up to 90 days before being fully purged.
Question 6: What does 'end-to-end encryption' mean for private video messages sent on social media?
- The video is compressed at both the sender and receiver ends
- Only the sender and recipient can decrypt and view the video; the platform cannot (Correct answer)
- The video auto-deletes after being viewed once
- The platform verifies the video before delivering it
Correct answer: Only the sender and recipient can decrypt and view the video; the platform cannot
End-to-end encryption ensures the platform itself has no access to message contents, only the communicating parties can decrypt them.
Question 7: Which action MOST effectively reduces the amount of behavioral data TikTok collects about your video preferences?
- Posting fewer videos
- Disabling 'Personalized Ads' and limiting data sharing in app privacy settings (Correct answer)
