According to the group, TikTok allowed 1.4 million children under the age of 13 to register accounts and use the platform in 2020, a direct violation of its terms of service. We caught wind of the UK’s Information Commissioner's Office’s fine against TikTok via an ABC News report earlier today. Now, TikTok has another serious matter on its plate as the UK has fined the social media company $15.9 million for multiple data protection violations, including misusing kids’ data. Most recently, CEO Shou Zi Chew appeared before Congress in the United States to testify against concerns surrounding TikTok’s privacy practices. TikTok has been under a great deal of scrutiny lately as international governments question the company’s data protection and potentially harmful effects.
