The ruling was issued by the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC), which regulates the platform in Europe. The fine relates to breaches on the platform between July 31 and December 31, 2020. The company said it had since changed its practices.
The video-sharing platform was also fined £12.7 million ($24.4m) this year by the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK for illegally having more than one million under-13s on its platform.
A spokesman for TikTok said: “We respectfully disagree with the decision, particularly the level of the fine. 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.”
