ICO slaps TikTok with £12 million fine

‘TikTok should have done better’ says the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as it issues a £12,700,000 fine to the social media site over the use of children’s personal data.
The ICO is asserting that TikTok ‘did not do enough’ to check if underage children were using the social media app and take sufficient action to remove them, and by doing so breached the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) between May 2018 and July 2020.
