- nitaigao 3y agoThe article states: "It found that the “family pairing” scheme, which gives an adult control over a child’s account settings, did not check whether the adult “paired” with the child user was a parent or guardian." Chapter 8, Article 1 of the GDPR[1] states: "Where the child is below the age of 16 years, such processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over the child." This doesn't seem vague at all. [1] https://gdpr-info.eu/art-8-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-8-gdpr/

- hef19898 3y agoI hope you are PR at TikTok, and not legal.
- personomas 3y agoI have no relations with TikTok. I am in furious at the EU politicians, and laws in general in the West. I am pro-Western but the laws are ruining us.
- 0xFF0123 3y agoGDPR generally only seems vague if you're trying to figure out exactly what you can get away with. The spirit of GDPR seems pretty easily explained.
