Hi All,
A prank was pulled on me in my retail job that I reacted well to but it was filmed using Meta glasses. I wasn't told I was being videoed but I realised when the guy pressed a button on his glasses to stop the recording. I asked him not to post it anywhere twice but he did.
It has been viewed by over 150,000 people now.
The video has my companies logo in the background and in huge letters the street it is on.
All the comments are postive about me but I have a domestic situation where I wouldn't want my ex or his family knowing where I work or shop.
I have contacted:
– Tiktok – they say it dosen't breach their guidelines. You can't add any words to the report from what I can see so I can't detail the ex sitution.
– my HR department – they are getting back to me in a couple of days.
-a local MLA – she messaged the guy but he wouldn't take it down. He said "I will archive the video in three days. This will help avoid negatively affecting my TikTok account’s engagement and performance. Thank you for your understanding." Dosen't really help not negativly affecting my mental health and I have diagnosed condition that stress and lack of sleep can trigger an episode. The MLA has been great though.
-my union – they were great but said the politicians will have more power or sway.
-a local MP – she has contacted TikTok.
-the police on the non emergency form online – they are doing a video call with me in 2 days time.
-a influencer that the guy who filmed me for TikTok follows and vice versa to see if he'd message him. No response.
Is there anything else I can do? I am contacting a legal service tomorrow and also lodging a data protection complaint to the ICO (information commissioners office) which enforces UK GDPR.
Thank you for your time and for reading.
Edit: to add I reported it to TikTok.
