Popular video-sharing app TikTok, which settled U.S. government charges over illegal collection of information from its underage users last year, was found to have breached South Korean law with similar privacy violations.
The Korea Communications Commission (KCC), South Korea’s telecommunications regulator, announced July 15 that it fined TikTok 186 million won (about $154,000) for violating local telecommunications law by collecting data from users under the age of 14 without parental consent, according to Yonhap News Agency.
