DPC

An inquiry was launched in April 2019 after Meta notified the DPC that it had inadvertently stored certain passwords of social media users on its internal systems without encryption.

The DPC submitted a draft decision to other European data watchdogs in June 2024.

He continued: "The development of therapeutic drugs has not progressed because we have not fully understood the causes of AMeD syndrome and Cockayne syndrome. This study suggests that the patient's pathological condition is related to DPC derived from aldehydes generated within cells. These results are expected to help in the search for compounds that remove aldehydes, thus aiding in the formulation of therapeutic drug candidates."

The fine issued by the DPC specifically refers to 2020, and TikTok took several actions in the years following to make it more compliant.

The DPC found that TikTok had not been transparent enough with children about its privacy settings, and raised questions about how their data was processed.
