The EU says TikTok still isn’t doing enough to protect kids

The European Commission says TikTok’s default privacy and recommendation settings may not sufficiently protect minors under the Digital Services Act.

If the preliminary findings are confirmed, TikTok could face penalties.

The EU case could push TikTok and other major platforms to adopt stronger default child-safety protections.

The move signals tougher EU enforcement of online safety rules, including against harmful content and cyberbullying.
