EU presses TikTok on minors as France bans under-15s from social media

1 source

The European Commission told TikTok that it does not sufficiently protect minors, creating risks of cyberbullying and exposure to potential predators, and demanded changes to account settings, with a possible fine of up to 6% of global revenue if the platform does not comply. Days earlier, on 21 July, French deputies and senators adopted a bill banning social media for under-15s, while according to Le Monde the Commission favours a graduated approach with staggered access for different age groups.
