TikTok's minors' account settings breach digital rules, EU Commission says | MLex
The EU Commission has determined that TikTok's default account settings for minors breach the Digital Services Act, specifically failing to restrict visibility and interaction defaults to protect children. This finding signals enforcement action and potential fines under EU digital regulation.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build tools that help platforms manage user account settings or child safety controls, TikTok's violation just proved there's an enforcement appetite in the EU and likely global copy-cat action coming. You now have paying customers who need to audit and rebuild their defaults before regulators arrive at their door.
