TikTok fined €14.5 million in the UK for ‘misusing children’s data’
LONDON — The UK’s data watchdog has fined TikTok £12.7 million (€14.5 million) for misuse of children’s data.The company is accused of a number of breaches of UK data protection law, including failure to use children’s personal data lawfully.The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) said it estimates TikTok allowed as many as 1.4 million children under the age of 13 in the UK onto its platform in 2020, despite the company’s own rules not allowing children of that age to create an account.Under UK data protection law, organizations that use personal data of children under 13 need to have parental consent.“TikTok also failed to carry out adequate checks to identify and remove underage children from its platform,” the ICO said in a statement.“There are laws in place to...

NATO’s border with Russia doubles as Finland joins
BRUSSELS — Finland has become the 31st member of the NATO security alliance, and its flag will soon be raised at the alliance’s headquarters.The Finnish foreign minister handed the accession document to the US secretary of state who declared Finland a member.Finland’s accession is a setback for Russia’s Vladimir Putin, who repeatedly complained of NATO’s expansion before his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.The length of Russia’s border with NATO member states has now doubled.Finland shares a 1,340-km (832-mile) eastern frontier with Russia and formally applied to join NATO with Sweden last May because of Russia’s war.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that Russia would be “watching closely” what happens in Finland, describing NATO’s enlargement as a “violation of...

Russia warns of ‘retaliatory measures’ over Finland’s NATO membership
MOSCOW — Russia has warned it would be forced to take “retaliatory measures” to address what it called security threats created by Finland’s membership.It had already warned that it would bolster defenses along its border with NATO if the alliance deploys any additional troops or equipment to its new member.The move is a strategic and political blow to President Vladimir Putin, who has long complained about NATO’s expansion toward Russia — though the alliance says it poses no threat to Moscow.“The Russian Federation will be forced to take military-technical and other retaliatory measures to counter the threats to our national security arising from Finland’s accession to NATO,” the Foreign Ministry warned in a statement.It said Finland’s move marks “a fundamental...
