Video sharing platform TikTok has been fined by a South Korea regulator over mishandling child data.
The country’s telecommunications watchdog, The Korea Communications Commission (KCC), said it has fined the company 186 million won — around $155,000 — for failing to protect users’ private data.
The fine is equivalent to 3% of the company’s annual sales in South Korea, an amount designated for such violations under local privacy laws. The investigation began last year in October, the KCC said.
