TikTok’s efforts to keep children under 13 off the platform are in question. Although age verification methods were GDPR compliant, the privacy of underage users was inadequately protected.
The DPC criticised their previous default public-setting process which allowed anyone to view underage users’ content. Features such as Duet and Stitch were automatically enabled for users under 17. TikTok has three months to comply with new regulations. No violation of GDPR was found in the methods used to verify user ages.
Previous fines on TikTok
TikTok was fined GBP 12.7 million in April by the UK data regulator for illegally processing the data of 1.4 million children under 13 who used its platform without parental consent.
“We respectfully disagree with the decision, particularly the level of the fine imposed. The DPC’s criticisms are focused on features and settings that were in place three years ago, and that we made changes to well before the investigation even began, such as setting all under-16 accounts to private by default,” said TikTok
Since 2021, all existing and new TikTok accounts for 13- to 15-year-olds have been set to private by default, meaning only people approved by the user can view their content. These changes were made to address the problems raised by the inquiry.
