For a long time, platforms like TikTok were mainly about entertainment and content discovery. But now things are changing quickly. TikTok is moving toward a model where users may not only discover products or experiences, but also book or purchase them directly inside the app. And honestly, this feels like a very important shift. Why This Matters Think about how people use social media today.

That is a huge responsibility. The Real Problem I have also shared a deeper, investor-focused perspective on this topic on Medium. Most people focus on: Features UI/UX Pricing But very few think about data security . And honestly, that is risky. Because one breach can: Break user trust Damage brand reputation Lead to legal issues What Should Companies Do In my view, EdTech companies should treat security as a core priority, not an afterthought. Some basics that should always be there: Strong data encryption...
