TikTok fined €345m over children's data privacy

Irish regulators have fined TikTok €345 million for violating children's privacy.

The complaint concerned how the social media app handled children's data in 2020 - particularly around age verification and privacy settings.

It is the biggest fine to date TikTok has received from regulators.

A spokesperson for the social media firm said it respectfully disagrees with the decision, particularly the level of the fine imposed.
