Reddit fined £14.47M by the UK ICO over children's data

Under appeal

The UK Information Commissioner found that Reddit processed the personal data of children under 13 without a lawful basis, because it had no robust age assurance in place, although its own terms barred them. It also found that Reddit had not carried out a data protection impact assessment on the risks its processing posed to children.
