India cricket star Virat Kohli says he is paranoid over his privacy after an “appalling” incident in which intruders allegedly filmed inside his hotel room during the Twenty20 World Cup. Kohli took to social media on Monday to denounce the video, in which a stranger walks through the room filming every step of the way. A second person was in the room when the video was shot, but no faces are shown in the footage. The video is labelled ’King Kohli’s Hotel Room,” and shows the star batsman’s neat and organized belongings. It remains unclear in which hotel room the video was taken, or how it came into Kohli’s possession. “I understand that fans get very happy and excited seeing their favorite players and get excited to meet them and I’ve always appreciated that,” Kohli wrote to his 221 million followers on Instagram.

If I cannot have privacy in my own hotel room, then where can I really expect any personal space at all?? “I’m NOT okay with this kind of fanaticism and absolute invasion of privacy. Please respect people’s privacy and not treat them as a commodity for entertainment.” Kohli played in India’s five-wicket loss to South Africa in Perth on Sunday night. The 33-year-old made only 12 runs and dropped an easy catch in the deep. India plays its next match at the T20 World Cup on Wednesday against Bangladesh in Adelaide.

The Netherlands’ Data Protection Authority said Thursday it has fined TikTok 750,000 euros ($885,000) for not offering a privacy statement in Dutch, saying many children who use the popular video sharing app would be unable to understand the information. The agency said that by not offering a Dutch-language privacy statement, “TikTok failed to provide an adequate explanation of how the app collects, processes and uses personal data.” It said TikTok has some 3.5 million users in the Netherlands and that Dutch privacy law is “based on the principle that people must always be given a clear idea of what is being done with their personal data.” Also read: WhatsApp puts its new privacy policy on hold in India The data protection authority said TikTok had “lodged an objection to the fine.” TikTok said in a statement that its privacy policy and a “shorter and more accessible version for our younger users, available in Dutch since July 2020, has been accepted by the Dutch Data Protection Authority as the solution to this issue.” It added that it made other changes to safeguard the privacy of minors in the past 18 months, including setting accounts of 13-to-15-year-olds to private by default and only allowing direct messaging for users 16 and over.
