France's data protection authority, the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés, issued a 5 million euro fine to TikTok over alleged cookie consent violations. An investigation by the CNIL revealed the platform's consent mechanism did not give users sufficient options to opt out of cookie settings or information regarding purpose of the cookies. The CNIL explained how the mechanism's setup "actually discouraged users from refusing cookies and encouraged them to prefer the ease of the 'accept all' button."
