Unmasking users just because: this TikTok account shows how the Internet is blurring the boundaries of privacy


Privacy in public spaces is fading by leaps and boundsbut we didn’t expect it to be a TikTok account of a Taylor Swift fan (she always includes her music in the videos she posts) who was going to remind us of it in the worst possible way.

And, with its 90,000 followers, this profile has caused alarm by exploiting the deep-rooted belief that Anything we do with content available on the Internet is valid.

The ‘modus operandi’ of this particular account is very simple: He selects his victims from people who have appeared in other viral videos and/or according to the suggestions of their followers and, once their objective is selected, their own videos document the ‘research’ process, consisting of…

  • Capture images of the person.
  • Subject them to searches within facial recognition platforms available online for any user (like Pimeyes or FaceCheck.ID).
  • Use what is called ‘open source intelligence’ or OSINT to ‘dig’ through data linked to your identity.
  • Publicly reveal your private information (full name, social media profile and even your employer).

Does not violate any TikTok content policy

Despite the concern generated by this account, and the requests made for TikTok to remove it, the platform has decided not to take any action in this regard, claiming that It does not violate any of their policies, since it only uses publicly available information.

That is the reason why neither 404 Media (the media that has dedicated a report to this story) nor we have wanted to disclose the address of this account until it is deactivated by TikTok.

One of his victims claims that this shows how vulnerable a person can be “merely by existing in a public space.”

Let us remember that these actions are carried out without the consent of the people involvedwhich raises serious ethical and legal questions… and opens the possibility that the content of said videos, or the recognition technology used in them, will be used, in the words of Eli Lloyd, one of their victims,

“For something worse than a simple thirst for online attention, such as extreme cases of harassmentFor example”.

The case of ‘Matthew’, another of his victims, is paradigmatic:was identified by the aforementioned TikTok profile after having appeared interviewed in a video from another viral content generator, one in which Matthew did not provide his full name or any other personal information..

“I felt a little violated”says this victim, who saw how the publication of his identity generated a wave of unwanted attention on the social networks of his company, whose website (which included a photo of him) was key to identifying him.

The worst thing is that the person responsible for the TikTok account shows no interest in ethically justifying his actions —of course, they have not revealed that their victims are behind any illicit activity or anything of that nature—, but rather, they feed on the mere curiosity of their followers.

In Matthew’s case, without going any further, everything was triggered because another TikTok user, one named Kenny, wrote “I need your @” (that is, your username) citing the original video in which the victim appeared. Kenny did not respond to 404 Media when asked why he wanted to unmask him.

GTA 6: 49 seconds of leaked gameplay shows the main characters, the graphics and a very striking feature for players


The most anticipated game in years is , an action role-playing game from Rockstar Games. The next game in the franchise is expected to be released between April 2024 and March 2025… although A leak that shows 49 seconds of gameplay is already starting to generate discussions.

Currently, there is very little official information about GTA 6, but in September 2022 a large amount of information was leaked, causing Rockstar annoyance.

49-second clip shows fluid transition between characters

In the filtration, you can see the two main characters of Jason and Lucia. It is suspected that the actress Alexandra Echavarri (known for participating in the police series) could have served as a model for the character of Lucia. On the other hand, Bryan Zampella (who plays Mike in is theorized to be the voice actor for Jason.

What is being talked about a lot in X is this feature that the leaker highlights in the clip: the incredible change between the two protagonists.

“One of my favorite leaks. You can see the new character change, the detail on Jason and Lucia’s face, and the exterior graphics. The finished game will be crazy!”

One moment you control Luca, the next the player goes outside with Jason and then, after a “change” sound effect, returns to the hotel as Luca. In the lower right corner of the screen, a joystick is shown with the option “Switch to Luca”which is seen twice just before the change.

Likewise, the leaker points out that The graphics are already impressive, even though it is still in alpha phase:

“This clip is crazy. Now you can pick up weapons with an animation and the inventory is realistic. Very similar to rdr2”

Although this clip has unfortunately already been deleted by Rockstar itself, here we leave you a video that shows much of what the X account mentions, but with different changes and distortion filters to avoid problems with the .

More than leaks, we would like to see with our own media and consoles if the game really lives up to all the expectations that have been placed on it. As we all know, the Serie It is one of the most successful game franchises in the world. revolutionized MMO-style online gaming on consoles in 2013, and its successor is being eagerly awaited by millions of players.

Where is the equality? Thanks to mod, Assassin’s Creed Valhallas Eivor shows up naked, but not always …

  • It’s the internet – of course there is a nude mod for the female eivor
  • The Mod Braless could only remove the bra at first, now all the underwear
  • There was also a mod for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Now the time has come for the indestructible target group that has been waiting for it: Less than a month after its release, the first nude mod for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was released. Perhaps not the top feature on everyone’s wish list, but it was to be assumed that it would not be long in coming. This is the internet, after all.

With this new mod, the bra and panties of the female Eivor version can be removed. The first version only aired the bra, hence the mod name Braless. Nexus user jackthenet has now updated the disreputable work and now the female main character can walk around like the Nordic gods created them.

It also makes sense to fight unarmed and unclothed in the snow after you got the mod on Nexusmods (source DSOGaming). However, adult content must be activated in your own preferences in order to be able to see the mod.

The nude mods for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey were already further: There you could get rid of both Alexios and Kassandra of their togas, even if it is significant that the first nude mod appeared for the AC of all places, which featured a female lead actress .

The Northman trailer shows brutal viking action


Universal has released the first official trailer for The Northman. The images treat us to hard action with vikings.

The new film directed by director Robert Eggers, known for films such as The Witch and The Lighthouse, shows how the blood-curdling life of a northerner can run. Unlike his two previous films, The Northman will not be categorized as a horror film. Nevertheless, the bloodshed story will hopefully give us reason enough to sit on the edge of our seats.

  • Order The Lighthouse now at bol.com!

The Dutch release date for the film is scheduled for April 28, 2022. It will then only be shown in cinemas, unlike many other films that also immediately appeared on streaming services.

Hard cast

Not only the images are a reason to keep an eye on this film. You may notice that some very familiar faces appear in the film. Some of the big names you can expect to appear in the film are as follows:

  • Alexander Skarsgard (Godzilla vs Kong)
  • Anya Taylor Joy (The Queen’s Gambit)
  • Nicole Kidman (The Hours)
  • Ethan Hawke (The Black Phone)
  • Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse & Spider-Man)
  • Claes Bang (The Square)
  • Bjork (Dancer in the Dark)

The Story of The Northman

The film’s story follows a merry young prince whose life is turned upside down by the murder of his father. In an almost psychopathic way you see the prince change from a happy cheerful boy, to a bloodthirsty warrior whose only goal is to fulfill his life’s mission:

We’ll have to wait until April 28 to find out how the movie will fare. Still, this is definitely a movie to keep an eye on, especially for Vikings fans.

Apple Maps now shows speed limit

In the Netherlands and Belgium, you can now see the maximum speed in Apple Maps. This is indicated on both your iPhone and on your CarPlay screen if you use this.

The feature was introduced years ago in China and the US, and later became available in other countries. In recent years, the expansion of speed limits in Apple Maps has been part of Apple’s new proprietary map stock. Now that the updated Apple Maps is available to everyone in the Netherlands and Belgium, the speed limits in Apple Maps have also become visible.

Apple Maps in the Netherlands and Belgium

In the Netherlands and Belgium, the speed limits in Apple Maps are visible on a large number of roads, but not everywhere. Once the information is known, the maximum speeds will be shown at the top of your screen. The maximum speed is also shown via CarPlay.

Apple Maps does not show your own speed. Some navigation apps do have that function, which makes it easier for yourself. In the case of Apple Maps, you just have to keep an eye on your own speedometer.

There is no list of the roads on which the function does and does not work, you have to try that yourself. In any case, the function works on many N and A roads. The speed is not displayed on the roads where the maximum speed changes during the day. The function is therefore only for roads that maintain the same speed limit throughout the day.

Long hoped

Many users have long hoped for this feature, now that it is here it may be disappointing for some users. Not because the function does not work on all roads, but mainly because the maximum speed shown may not always be correct. Although this has not yet happened in the Netherlands, it is a warning that you should never rely on it 100 percent.

If you do see the wrong maximum speed in Apple Maps, you can report this as a problem to Apple.

Seamless character change – GTA 6 footage shows incredibly fast loading times


Grand Theft Auto VI

GTA VI was officially announced as being in development in February 2022. There was recently an indication that we can expect the game in March 2025 at the latest. Footage of an early build of the sequel has now surfaced online, confirming that GTA VI is set in Vice City. Furthermore, in addition to a male character, there is also a female main character for the first time.

An important point in the series has always been the loading times. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series was loaded.

From the looks of it, Rockstar Games wants players to not waste a lot of time in front of loading screens in GTA 6. The information comes from some new footage taken from Grand Theft Auto VI, showing an almost seamless transition between characters.

GTA 6 footage shows incredibly fast loading times

Luckily, it looks like GTA VI will avoid these lengthy loading times. Of course, we all know that the new consoles are capable of very fast loading times anyway, but a newly surfaced piece of leaked footage shows just how seamless that could be in GTA VI.

The footage shows the two protagonists of the game in a motel. We see the game immediately switch from Lucia to Jason before Jason goes out into the world. This happens almost without any real delay and is therefore a huge change from GTA V.

Since the material is still from an earlier build, the information is doubly impressive. It remains to be seen what this will look like in the final game. However, you can be sure that Rockstar Games is doing everything it can to make endless loading times a thing of the past.

You can see the tweet here

One of my favorite leaks. You can see the new character switching, the detail of Jason and Lucia’s face and the graphics outside. The finished game will be insane! #gta6 #GTAVI pic.twitter.com/6quEH5c6FA
