The EDPB decision means that the Irish Data Protection Commission will be able to issue a financial penalty within a month. Other EU data protection authorities had previously raised objections to the case.<\/p>\n<p>The Irish regulator is the EU\u2019s lead data protection authority in proceedings against TikTok, as the company&#8217;s legal EU headquarters is based in Dublin. The decision is part of an investigation launched in 2021 into whether TikTok had violated the EU\u2019s data protection rules, known as GDPR, by failing to ensure its age verification processes sufficiently protected the privacy of children between the age of 13 and 17. TikTok&#8217;s level of transparency on how it processes children&#8217;s data is also being investigated.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese-owned social media platform is used by more than 150 million people in Europe. Its parent company ByteDance reported revenues of $80 billion (\u20ac72.6 billion) in 2022. The size of the fine is yet unknown. TikTok fined \u20ac14.5 million in the UK for \u2018misusing children\u2019s data\u2019. The decision came as TikTok announced new measures on Friday to ensure compliance with the EU\u2019s landmark legislation to regulate Big Tech, the Digital Services Act (DSA). The Act places new requirements on platforms to better protect users online, for example by better policing content and providing more transparency on the use of personal data.<\/p>\n<p>In July this year, European Commissioner Thierry Breton said in a statement that the Chinese-owned platform needs to do more to get ready for the DSA, after TikTok conducted a &#8216;stress test&#8217; of the new rules. In April this year, TikTok was fined \u00a312.7 million (\u20ac14.7 million) by the UK data watchdog for illegally processing children\u2019s data, one of the biggest penalties of its kind. The final decision on the penalty to be issued by the Irish Data Protection Commission is expected to be announced in September.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2023\/08\/04\/tiktok-to-face-eu-fine-over-processing-of-childrens-data\">Euronews<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/112815\/\">TikTok to face EU fine over processing of children\u2019s data<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1300,555,618,274,2913,3394,10949,1847],"class_list":["post-115909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-children","tag-csr-news-en","tag-data","tag-eu","tag-face","tag-fine","tag-processing","tag-tiktok"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115909\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
