TL;DR

The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has fined TikTok $15.9 million for allegedly misusing the data of children under age 13 and not providing proper information to users about how their data is collected, used, and shared. The app is popular with young people and up to 1.4 million children under age 13 used it in 2020. TikTok CEO Shou Chew testified before Congress last month that the app is free from any manipulation from any government.
