The European Union has determined that TikTok has not taken sufficient measures to protect minors on its platform, according to a preliminary investigation. The findings could lead to a fine of up to six percent of the company's annual revenue if the social media giant fails to address the concerns. The case stems from an inquiry launched in February under the Digital Services Act, which imposes stricter rules on large online platforms to safeguard users, especially children. TikTok now has the opportunity to respond to the EU's preliminary conclusions before a final decision is made. The outcome could set a precedent for how tech companies are held accountable for child safety under the new EU regulations.
