London Court has granted girl anonymity and let her sue TIKTOK the video sharing social media Platform.

Court allowed Girl to take TikTok to court over allegations the social-media company violated the European Union’s strict data protection rules.

Court said. Not granting her anonymity could “have a chilling effect on the bringing of claims by children to vindicate their data-protection rights.”

“intends to go to a court asserting- rightly or wrongly -that her privacy rights and those of others like her have been infringed in ways that call for a remedy,”.

Anne Longfield, who would bring the case on behalf of girl, said the minor would risk “direct online bullying by other children or users of the TikTok app” and “negative or hostile reactions from social media influencers,” if her identity was known, according to the ruling. The judge said such behavior “is reasonably foreseeable.”
