TikTok

• share the original data outside of the context of their research project
  
• publish the original data openly without restrictions
  
• derive additional data about an individual who uses X. E.g., look up more information about an individual via Google and add it to the exported X data.
  
• find out, link and share personal information about a person.
  

Making associations between an X profile and an individual is only allowed with the express permission of that person or if that association is public data. See examples below:

• When politician x tweets something using the account @politicusX, this is public data because it is clearly a statement by politician x. Making that association is allowed because this is information that someone would reasonably expect to be used for that purpose.
  
• When an ordinary citizen tweets something (regardless of whether this is an anonymous profile or a clearly recognizable name such as @JohnJohnson), it is not allowed to find out and share personal information about that person.
  

• conducting or providing surveillance or gathering intelligence, including but not limited to investigating or tracking Twitter users or Twitter Content;
  
• conducting or providing analysis or research for any unlawful or discriminatory purpose, or in a manner that would be inconsistent with Twitter users' reasonable expectations of privacy;
  
• monitoring sensitive events (including but not limited to protests, rallies, or community organizing meetings);
  
• targeting, segmenting, or profiling individuals based on sensitive personal information, including their health (e.g., pregnancy), negative financial status or condition, political affiliation or beliefs, racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical affiliation or beliefs, sex life or sexual orientation, trade union membership, Twitter Content relating to any alleged or actual commission of a crime, or any other sensitive categories of personal information prohibited by law.
