Title: TikTok slapped with ~US$370 million fine for mis-handling underage user data
Post by: Redaktion on September 17, 2023, 15:15:23
The Republic of Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) has concluded that TikTok has violated various aspects of GDPR as it relates to "child users". The social media giant faces a "reprimand" as well as a multi-million-euro fine for its apparent failure to close loopholes that might have allowed an unsafe level of access to those under 16 on its platform. It also has a three-month deadline to address these failings.
