TikTok faces a £27 million fine after a British government investigation found it breached UK data protection laws and failed to protect children's privacy.
The UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) issued a notice of intent to TikTok and its TikTok Information Technologies UK entity alleging the internet goliath breached British rules between May 2018 and July 2020. A notice of intent precedes a potential fine from the regulator.
While $29 million penalty is unlikely to bother TikTok it might spark other investigations through-out the rest of the world.
