Italy's competition watchdog fines TikTok €10 million for failing to protect minors from harmful content and not verifying users' ages. The investigation was prompted by the death of a 10-year-old girl who participated in a TikTok challenge. The fine reflects the growing pressure on social media companies to prioritize user safety. Meanwhile, TikTok faces an ultimatum from the European Commission regarding the risks of its new app, TikTok Lite, and could face fines if it fails to provide an assessment of the app's rewards-for-views scheme. TikTok also approved ads containing political disinformation ahead of European polls, raising concerns about its ability to detect election falsehoods. #TikTok #userprotection #EUregulation...
