ANPD reviews TikTok fine over minors’ data

PropMark reported that Brazil’s ANPD assigned TikTok a penalty of R$153.7 million for alleged failures in the handling of personal data and for mechanisms that allowed access to content without registration and the creation of accounts. The publication said the purpose of those measures was to prevent the irregular collection of information from children and adolescents. PPC Land offered a different account, saying the amount corresponds to fines recommended by the ANPD against ByteDance for five alleged LGPD violations linked to minors’ data on TikTok.

What did the sources say about the sanction?

PropMark presented the case as a penalty imposed by the ANPD against TikTok for R$153.7 million. PPC Land, by contrast, described the same amount as a recommendation for fines, not as a penalty already finalized. That difference matters because it changes the procedural status of the case and calls for caution until there is an official confirmation.

What conduct was under scrutiny?

According to PropMark, the alleged failures involved personal data processing and mechanisms that allowed access to content without registration and the creation of accounts. The coverage added that the goal was to avoid the irregular collection of data from minors. PPC Land placed the focus on five alleged LGPD violations, also linked to minors’ data on TikTok.

What can be confirmed from the available material?

Based on the information provided, what can be verified is that the ANPD appears to be acting on practices tied to the data of children and adolescents, and that the case is connected to a broader review of how personal information is used on TikTok. It is also clear that the R$153.7 million figure appears in both reports, but with different labels depending on the source. Without an official reference in the material provided, it cannot be established whether this was a fine already imposed or a recommended sanction.
