TikTok has been fined £12.7m for multiple breaches of data protection law, including using the personal data of children aged under 13 without parental consent, Britain’s data watchdog has said.
The Chinese-owned video app had not done enough to check who was using the platform and remove the underage children who were, the Information Commissioner’s Office said on Tuesday.
