UK privacy watchdog fines <a href="https://laohu8.com/S/RDDT">Reddit</a> $20 million over children’s data failures
LONDON, Feb 24 - Britain's privacy watchdog on Tuesday said it had fined social media platform Reddit 14.47 million pounds ($19.52 million) for failures related to children's privacy.
The Information Commissioner's Office said the company broke the rules by not checking children's ages properly, meaning it had no right to use data from under-13s, and by not doing a required risk assessment for children until after January 2025.
