European regulators hit social media platform TikTok with a $368 million fine for lapses in children's privacy. It's the first time the video-sharing app has been penalized under Europe's data privacy rules. An investigation found significant lapses in the protection of children's privacy, it said. This isn't the first time that TikTok has been fined over data protection concerns. Data privacy regulators in the UK issued a £12.7 million ($15.7 million) fine to TikTok in April for mishandling children's data and breaching protections for young users' personal information, AP reported.

☆ TikTok fined $368 million in Europe for failing to protect children

CNN —A major European tech regulator has ordered TikTok to pay a €345 million ($368 million) fine after ruling that the app failed to do enough to protect children. An investigation by the DPC found that in the latter half of 2020, TikTok’s default settings didn’t do enough to protect children’s accounts. TikTok introduced Family Pairing in April 2020, allowing adults to link their accounts with child accounts to manage screen time, restrict unwanted content and limit direct messaging to children. TikTok did not say Family Pairing would now be verifying an adult’s relationship to the child. In April, TikTok was also fined in the United Kingdom for a number of breaches of data protection law, including misusing children’s personal data.

☆ TikTok Is Hit With $368 Million Fine Under Europe's Strict Data Privacy Rules

LONDON (AP) — European regulators slapped TikTok with a $368 million fine on Friday for failing to protect children's privacy, the first time that the popular short video-sharing app has been punished for breaching Europe's strict data privacy rules. And it nudged teen users into more “privacy intrusive” options when signing up and posting videos, the watchdog said. The Irish regulator has been criticized for not moving fast enough in its investigations into Big Tech companies since EU privacy laws took effect in 2018. For TikTok, German and Italian regulators disagreed with parts of a draft decision issued a year ago, delaying it further. Instagram, WhatsApp and their owner Meta are among other tech giants that have been hit with big fines by the Irish regulator over the past year.

☆ TikTok hires Britain's NCC for auditing data security

REUTERS/Mike Blake/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies NCC Group PLC FollowSTOCKHOLM, Sept 5 (Reuters) - TikTok has hired British cybersecurity firm NCC (NCCG.L) to audit its data controls and protections, and provide independent verification, as part of the social media company's data security regime, nicknamed "Project Clover". As part of the regime, TikTok is opening three data centres - two in Ireland and one in Norway to store user data in Europe. The first Irish datacenter is already online and TikTok has started to migrate data. In the coming months, TikTok and NCC said they will engage with policymakers across Europe to explain how the system will work in practice. TikTok announced Project Clover in March amid growing pressure from lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic over data security.

☆ TikTok makes clear European data can be accessed by China-based employees
  + stars: | 2022-11-03 | by ( Brian Fung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
Washington CNN Business —TikTok updated its privacy policies for European users on Tuesday, adding explicit disclosures that personal data from the app may be viewed by employees in China. The announcement, which TikTok said was aimed at providing greater transparency, applies to users in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland — not the United States, though TikTok said it does store European users’ data in the US and in Singapore. In addition to China, TikTok data may be handled by employees in countries including Brazil, Canada, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and the US, the company said. TikTok has also migrated US user data from proprietary servers in the US and Singapore to cloud-based servers hosted by Oracle. But that has not dampened criticism that user data could still be accessed by China-based individuals subject to that country’s security laws, a practice TikTok would not commit to stopping and further emphasized would continue with Tuesday’s European policy update.
