Following EDPB Decision, TikTok ordered to eliminate unfair design practices concerning children

Here is a summary of the provided document:

Summary:

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) found TikTok guilty of violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) due to its unfair design practices. Specifically, the EDPB found that TikTok manipulated users, particularly children, into making choices that compromised their privacy. Two popup notifications on the platform, the Registration Pop-Up and the Video Posting Pop-Up, failed to present options objectively, leading users to make decisions that favored public over private accounts. The EDPB also expressed serious doubts about TikTok's age verification measures and required the Irish Data Protection Authority (IE DPA) to reflect this in its final decision. As a result, the IE DPA imposed a fine of u20ac345 million and ordered TikTok to comply with the GDPR.
