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 (ICO) 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”.
