TikTok may be fined ?27m for failing to protect children

TikTok could face a ?27m fine for failing to protect children's privacy when they're using the platform.

The UK's Information Commissioner's Office found the video-sharing platform may have processed the data of under-13s without appropriate consent.

The watchdog said the breach happened over more than two years — until July 2020 — but that it had not yet drawn final conclusions.

TikTok says it disputes the findings, noting that they are "provisional".

The ICO investigation found the social platform may have:

? processed the data of children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental consent

? failed to provide proper information to its users in a concise, transparent and easily understood way

? processed special category data, without legal grounds to do so
