An investigation finds that TikTok may have processed the data of children under the age of 13 without parental consent, violating UK's data protection law.

Britain could fine TikTok 27 million pounds following an investigation that found the short-form video app may have breached UK’s data protection law by failing to safeguard privacy of children using the platform.

The Information Commissioner’s Office has issued TikTok and TikTok Information Technologies UK Ltd with a “notice of intent,” the regulator said in a statement. “While we respect the ICO’s role in safeguarding privacy in the UK, we disagree with the preliminary views expressed and intend to formally respond to the ICO in due course,” a TikTok spokesperson said in a emailed statement to Reuters.
