Comment on TikTok fined £12.7M for misusing children's data

Comments

My question is why have they singled out Tiktok? This seems political to me.

Last year Ofcom published a report on childrens' use of social media. It found:

"For children aged 8-12 who used social media the proportions with their own profile were; eight in ten (79%) among Snapchat users, 72% for Facebook, around two-thirds on each of the other platforms (i.e. TikTok, Instagram, Twitter), except YouTube at 43%."
