  "summary": "Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) has fined TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, $30 million for irregularities in processing children's and teenagers' data. The penalty, published in the Diário Oficial da União, includes an order to delete data collected improperly.\n\nThe ANPD found that TikTok failed to block users under 16 and mishandled personal data. According to the South China Morning Post, the authority identified five breaches of Brazil's data protection law.\n\nTikTok must erase records of users aged 13 to 18 whose parental authorisation is not regularised within 60 working days and instruct partners to do the same. The company has 10 working days to appeal the fine.",
