Federal Privacy Commissioner Philippe Dufresne said TikTok must do more to keep underage children off its platform and must better explain its data collection practices, especially to youth. The company has said the platform is not intended for people under the age of 13. Dufresne said TikTok has agreed to enhance underage assurance methods to keep underage users off the platform and agreed to strengthen privacy communications so that users understand how their data is being used. The federal, Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia privacy commissioners released the results of their joint investigation, which they launched in 2023. “We were certainly struck by how elaborate a profiling that was being used by TikTok,” British Columbia Privacy Commissioner Michael Harvey said.
