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

The European Commission found TikTok violated its Digital Services Act by failing to protect minors' privacy, allowing adult users to access children's accounts, exposing them to cyberbullying and predatory behavior. TikTok may face a fine up to 6% of its annual revenue if it does not address the EU's concerns, and the platform acknowledged reviewing the findings while emphasizing its commitment to protecting minors online.
