The Chinese-owned platform has grown rapidly around the world in recent years.
DUBLIN: TikTok has been fined €345 million for breaching privacy laws regarding the processing of children’s personal data in the European Union, its lead regulator in the bloc said today.
It is the first time ByteDance-owned TikTok has been reprimanded by the DPC, the lead regulator in the EU for many of the world’s top tech firms due to the location of their regional headquarters in Ireland. The DPC said TikTok’s breaches included how in 2020 accounts for users under the age of 16 were set to “public” by default and that TikTok did not verify whether a user was actually a child user’s parent or guardian when linked through the “family pairing” feature.
TikTok said today it plans to further update its privacy materials to make the differences between public and private accounts clearer and that a private account will be pre-selected for new 16 to 17-year-old users when they register for the app from later this month.
