Too Long; Didn't Read
The Federal Trade Commission fined TikTok $5.7 million for collecting data of children under 13. Part of user data was processed in China where there are a different set of rules which govern data use. By not being very transparent in the way they handle their data, it opens the company up to further criticism. However, TikTok have in some ways rectified their actions. They have deleted all accounts of those under 13 along with the corresponding data. They have also promised to enforce more stringent measures to reduce this from happening.
