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

TikTok could face a 27m Pounds 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".

?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
