TikTok COPPA Enforcement
Coverage from CNBC, Law.com, and others
U.
S. enforcement concerning TikTok and children’s privacy centers on COPPA requirements for handling personal information from users under 13, including obtaining parental consent. The allegations include collecting information without consent and failing to honor requests to delete children’s accounts, alongside questions about age detection and compliance safeguards. The history connects a 2019 FTC consent decree involving Musical.ly with later Justice Department litigation and a settlement with TikTok and ByteDance. It also encompasses the decree’s continuing obligations and the legal and compliance implications of resolving them.
