EU finds TikTok violates its digital rule book by failing to protect privacy of minors

The European Commission found TikTok violated EU digital rules by failing to protect minors' privacy, allowing adults to view children's accounts and exposing them to cyberbullying and predatory behavior. The EU warned TikTok could face a fine up to 6% of its annual revenue if it does not address the issue, following a prior finding about the app's 'addictive design' harming users.
