TikTok appeals EU's €345m youth privacy fine

According to news from this site on October 16, according to Bloomberg, TikTok was fined 345 million euros (this site’s note: currently about 2.653 billion yuan) by European regulators for failing to protect private data. TikTok launched a lawsuit on this matter appeal.

TikTok said it had appealed the penalty to the EU General Court and challenged an order there by its main data regulator in Ireland. The order aims to eliminate "deceptive or manipulative" behavior that could compromise privacy.

The Irish Data Protection Commission fined TikTok in September this year because minors may have been exposed to risky content. The investigation covered the five-month period from July 2020 to December 31, 2020, and found that TikTok’s data processing during this period violated the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation regarding children aged 13 to 17 years old. ##. The Irish data regulator is responsible for all investigations into TikTok under the General Data Protection Regulation, as the platform currently has an EU base in Dublin. However, given that the alleged infringements are EU-wide, the European Data Protection Board (the group of European regulators responsible for enforcing the law) must approve the final decision.

TikTok confirmed the appeals but declined to comment further. The EDPB and Ireland's data regulator declined to comment.
