The Italian antitrust regulator has fined TikTok roughly $10.94 million for failing to protect children and vulnerable people from harmful content on the popular video-sharing application.

In a statement published on Thursday, the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) said the firm has not implemented “appropriate mechanisms to monitor content published on the platform, particularly those that may threaten the safety of minors and vulnerable individuals.”
