TL;DR Summary

TikTok has been fined £12.7m by the UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), for breaching data protection law and failing to protect the privacy of children. The ICO found that TikTok allowed up to 1.4 million UK children under 13 to use its platform in 2020, despite its own rules not allowing children that age to create an account. TikTok says it disagrees with the ICO's decision and is considering next steps.
