Part of situation: EU, UK, France tighten child safety rules (235 clusters)

EU Commission says TikTok breaches child‑protection rules under Digital Services Act

TikTok EU Commission Digital Services Act child protection potential fine

The European Commission released a preliminary assessment saying TikTok is not complying with the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) on the protection of minors. The regulator found that the platform lets users under 18 set their accounts to public, allowing any internet user – even those without a TikTok account – to view their posts. This exposure can facilitate unwanted contact, cyber‑bullying and predatory behaviour. The Commission also noted that content from 16‑ and 17‑year‑olds can be recommended to other users through the “For You” feed, further increasing the risk.

Even when minors choose a private setting, their profiles can still be located via follower/following lists and profile pictures remain publicly visible. The Commission argues that these practices breach the DSA, which requires platforms to embed a high level of privacy and safety for child users by default. It has warned that TikTok could face a fine of up to 6 % of its global annual revenue if the findings are confirmed. TikTok has been given the opportunity to respond to the investigation.

“High‑level protection should not be optional; it should be the default,” said Henna Virkkunen, EU executive vice‑president for technology, security and democracy.
