TikTok app users hit by login problems after record fine for failing to protect children's privacy

Popular video sharing app TikTok has received the largest ever fine from a US regulator for violating children's privacy, resulting in login issues for many of its users. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) alleged that the Musical.ly TikTok agreed to pay $5.7 million (£4.3m) on Wednesday to settle the case. As part of the settlement, TikTok's operators are required to remove any videos made by children under 13-years-old. Since the announcement of the settlement, some TikTok users reported being locked out of their accounts.
