Brazil fines TikTok over child safety
The Data Protection Agency in Brazil has imposed a $30 million fine on TikTok for failing to protect children and prevent the inappropriate collection of their data, especially after the platform's insufficient response to necessary safety measures for teenagers since 2021. The agency confirmed that the platform did not take adequate steps to prevent minors from using the service and used their data to display promotional advertisements, serving as a warning to other social media platforms. It is worth noting that TikTok previously agreed to pay $400 million to settle a US case related to collecting children's data without parental consent, and is currently in discussions with the Brazilian agency regarding sustainable measures to ensure children's protection.
