According to media reports, the UK may fine the TikTok platform millions of dollars, accusing it of violating internet privacy laws.
According to the information available, “British authorities have conducted an investigation into the work of the TikTok platforms and found that these platforms have violated data protection laws regarding children who use these platforms.”
And media outlets said, “The Office of the Information Commissioner in England said authorities in his country could fine TikTok £27m or $29m.”
According to the British authorities, “TikTok did not comply with the country’s legal requirements for the protection of the privacy of the data of minors on its platforms and allowed the processing of data of people under 13 years old their parents don’t know.”
The British authorities’ decision is currently considered a preliminary fine notice, and the British Information Office must make a decision on the fine after reviewing TikTok’s appeals.
