<\/div>\n

TikTok has been fined \u00a312.7m for illegally processing the data of 1.4 million children under 13 who were using its platform without parental consent, Britain\u2019s data watchdog said.<\/p>\n

The information commissioner said the China-owned video app had done \u201cvery little, if anything\u201d to check who was using the platform and remove underage users, despite internal warnings the firm was flouting its own terms and conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur findings were that TikTok were not doing enough to prevent under-13s accessing their platform, they were not doing enough when they became aware of under-13s to get rid of them, and they were not doing enough to detect under-13s on there,\u201d John Edwards told the Guardian on Tuesday. \u201cThey assure us that they are now doing more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fine from the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) comes weeks after the app was banned from UK government phones<\/a> amid security concerns. It is fast becoming a flashpoint for the UK\u2019s handling of big tech and Chinese influence.<\/p>\n

After the announcement of the fine, one of the largest the watchdog has given, Rishi Sunak was accused of moving too slowly in taking action against TikTok \u2013 and was called \u201cnaive for assuming TikTok could ever regulate itself\u201d.<\/p>\n

UK data protection law does not have a strict ban on children using the internet but requires organisations that use the personal data of children to obtain consent from their parents or carers.<\/p>\n

TikTok itself bans those under 13 in its terms and conditions. The failure to enforce age limits led to \u201cup to 1.4 million UK children\u201d under 13 using the platform as of 2020, the ICO estimated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a whole bunch of stuff that they could have been doing that they weren\u2019t,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cAll that was required was a self-certification that the applicant was over 13, by clicking a box with no verification, with no extra checks. We understand that there are now significantly more checks and balances in place to detect that kind of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edwards added: \u201cThere are laws in place to make sure our children are as safe in the digital world as they are in the physical world. TikTok did not abide by those laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a consequence, an estimated 1 million under-13s were inappropriately granted access to the platform, with TikTok collecting and using their personal data. That means that their data may have been used to track them and profile them, potentially delivering harmful, inappropriate content at their very next scroll.<\/p>\n

\u201cTikTok should have known better, TikTok should have done better. They did not do enough to check who was using their platform or take sufficient action to remove the underage children that were using their platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ICO\u2019s investigation found that concern was raised internally but that TikTok did not respond \u201cadequately\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a statement, a TikTok spokesperson said: \u201cTikTok is a platform for users aged 13 and over. We invest heavily to help keep under-13s off the platform and our 40,000-strong safety team works around the clock to help keep the platform safe for our community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we disagree with the ICO\u2019s decision, which relates to May 2018 to July 2020, we are pleased that the fine announced today has been reduced to under half the amount proposed last year. We will continue to review the decision and are considering next steps.\u201d<\/p>\n

TikTok emphasised that it had changed its practices since the period the ICO investigated. Now, in common with social media peers, the site uses more signals than a users\u2019 self-declared age when trying to determine how old they are, including training its moderators to identify underage accounts and providing tools for parents to request the deletion of their underage children\u2019s accounts.<\/p>\n

The accusations also pre-date the introduction of the ICO\u2019s \u201cage appropriate design code\u201d, which specifies an even stricter set of rules that platforms are expected to follow when handling the personal data of children. That code also makes it more explicit that platforms cannot argue ignorance over the ages of younger users as a defence for failing to treat their personal data carefully.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be looking at other providers of services likely to be accessed by children and checking the ways in which they\u2019re doing age verification,\u201d Edwards said.<\/p>\n

In 2019, TikTok was hit with a $5.7m fine<\/a> by the US Federal Trade Commission for similar practices. That fine, a record at the time, was also levied against TikTok for improper data collection from children under 13. At the time the company committed to improving its practices and said it would begin keeping younger users in \u201cage-appropriate TikTok environments\u201d, where those under 13 would be pushed into a more passive role, able to watch videos, but not post or comment on the platform.<\/p>\n

John Hayes, a Conservative MP who pushed Sunak to toughen up the online harms bill, warned the government it would be forced to return to the issue of regulation \u201ctime and again because the idea that companies like TikTok will ever regulate themselves is for the birds\u201d.<\/p>\n

Labour has accused the government of failing to protect children online. Alex Davies-Jones, the shadow digital and tech minister, said: \u201cMinisters have been passing the buck and platforms have been acting with impunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cThe government and tech companies have a clear responsibility to ensure young people are safe online and this episode shows they are failing that duty. Labour has long campaigned for stronger protections online and if this government fails to act the next Labour government will.\u201d<\/p>\n
