TikTok, the video sharing social medial platform is to be fined €345 million for failing to protect children’s privacy. Ireland’s Data Protection Commissioner announced the fine against the video sharing app for breaches of the GDPR data protection law. TikTok exposed children aged 13 to 17 to risks by making their accounts publicly available by default and allowing them to pair their accounts with adults who may not be family members, the regulator found. The Chinese owned company has been given three months to rectify the breaches following a reprimand from the regulator. The fine follows an investigation initiated by the Irish data protection regulator into TikTok Technology Limited’s handling of children’s data and age verification procedures in September 2021.
