President Pasquale Stanzione, Privacy Guarantor, explains the intentions and scenario of his decisions in an interview with the newspaper Avvenire:

There has been talk of a "block" of TikTok: what has the Authority really decided?

The provision approved by the Guarantor has the effect of preventing the processing of data (and therefore also the opening or maintenance of social profiles) of all those whose age has not been securely ascertained. Naturally, the platform will assess the degree of uniqueness of this assessment (in particular for minors), but it will do so under its own responsibility and with the risk of even high penalties in the event of false statements or elusive behavior.

What happens now for TikTok users? If the social network does not adapt what is the risk?

Access to the platform should be precluded to users whose age is not uniquely ascertained, at least until the Guarantor has deemed the measures adopted in compliance with the provision suitable. Failure to comply with the injunction measure would entrench administrative liability, with sanctions likely to reach up to 4% of the global annual turnover, but also criminal liability.
