Brazil penalizes ByteDance with 30 million dollars over minors
The Brazilian Data Protection Authority has imposed a fine of 30 million dollars on "ByteDance," the owner of the "TikTok" app, due to violations related to the collection and processing of children's data, as well as the company's failure to take strict measures to prevent minors from accessing the platform. Investigations confirmed that the company did not activate an effective age verification mechanism, allowing anyone in Brazil to browse content without proof of age or parental consent. Age estimation technologies were found to be easily circumvented, especially when users attempted to alter their ages or appeal bans. The authority gave the company a ten-day period to appeal the ruling, and mandated that it delete data of users between 13 and 18 years old whose parental consent had not been verified within sixty days, providing proof of the deletion process.
