The UK Upper Tribunal upheld a £12.7 million fine against TikTok for unlawfully processing children's data, rejecting TikTok's claim that its data processing fell under GDPR exemptions. The ruling has wider implications for other platforms and marks growing regulatory enforcement in children's data privacy under the Online Safety Act and data protection laws.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Generalist.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

UK regulators are cracking down on children’s data violations with big fines and no exemptions accepted. You must reassess your data compliance now or risk similar enforcement and fines.
