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 adult access to children's accounts and exposing them to cyberbullying and predatory behavior. The EU previously criticized TikTok for an 'addictive design' harmful to users, and potential fines up to 6% of the company's annual revenue are possible if TikTok does not satisfactorily respond.
