TikTok faces potential 27M GBP fine from ICO

The U.K. Information Commissioner's Office announced a notice of intent to fine TikTok 27 million GBP for alleged U.K. data protection violations. The ICO's investigation found potential violations concerning nonconsensual processing of minors' data, unlawful processing of special category data and insufficient transparency. "I’ve been clear that our work to better protect children online involves working with organisations but will also involve enforcement action where necessary," U.K. Information Commissioner John Edwards said.
