TikTok Fights $636 Million EU Teen Privacy Fine

(Bloomberg) — TikTok, the Chinese-owned video-sharing platform, is fighting back in court after European regulators imposed a 345 million euro ($363 million) data privacy fine and issued a compliance order for failing to safeguard the private data of teenage users.

The ByteDance Ltd. unit said it filed an appeal against the penalty in the European Union’s General Court. TikTok is also challenging locally an order by the lead EU data regulator in Ireland to eliminate “deceptive or manipulative” practices that could undermine privacy.
