EU Targets TikTok’s Teen Safety Defaults | Europe News

The EU is cracking down again on TikTok, accusing it of putting kids at risk through its default public account settings that expose minors to predators and cyberbullying. This is the fourth time in two years TikTok’s faced scrutiny under the Digital Services Act, with regulators demanding the platform make minors’ content private by default—only visible to approved followers. TikTok defends itself, citing over 50 safety features and claiming teen accounts are already private by default, while warning of potential fines up to 6% of global revenue if they can’t resolve the issue. The standoff underscores the EU’s push for safety to be the default, not an option, in digital spaces for children.
