TikTok a acceptat 400 de milioane de dolari în SUA, într-un proces privind confidențialitatea datelor copiilor

TikTok has agreed to pay $400 million to settle allegations regarding the collection of children's personal data in the U.S. The agreement does not include an admission of wrongdoing and involves changes in ownership and privacy practices. The Justice Department sued TikTok in 2024, claiming it allowed children under 13 to create accounts without parental consent, violating U.S. privacy laws. Despite age restrictions, children can bypass them by entering false birth dates. Former President Trump mandated a transfer of TikTok's U.S. operations to a new company backed by American investors in early 2026, ensuring TikTok's future in the U.S. while ByteDance retains control elsewhere.
