Brazil fines TikTok for privacy violations
The Brazilian Data Protection Authority has imposed a fine of approximately $29.8 million on ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, for processing data of children and teenagers without proper legal grounds and failing to take adequate measures to protect them. The violations included using the platform without registration or creating accounts for children, resulting in five breaches of the Brazilian Data Protection Law. In addition to the fine, the company is required to delete the illegal data, improve parental control tools, and enhance protections for young users—especially those under 16—through stricter privacy settings and restrictions on advertising and direct messaging. ByteDance has a 10-business-day window to contest the decision. This penalty is part of a global scrutiny TikTok is facing over child protection, following the company's previous agreement to pay $400 million in the United States to settle claims of collecting children's data without parental consent.
