Brazil fines TikTok 30M over child data
The National Data Protection Agency in Brazil announced a fine of 153.7 million Brazilian reais (approximately 30 million dollars) against the company ByteDance, the owner of the TikTok platform, due to violations related to the collection and processing of data from children and adolescents. Investigations revealed that the platform handled minor's data without a legal basis and exhibited deficiencies in technical and regulatory procedures that prevent children from accessing content without an account activation. Additionally, targeted advertising operations and data usage were not sufficiently protected, putting the protection of minors' data at risk. Authorities emphasize that this decision sends a serious message to social media platforms, urging them to review their systems to ensure the protection of children's rights and compliance with the law.
