The?video app TikTok is huge with kids. Now the Federal Trade Commission has fined the owners of the popular video app $5.7 million for unlawfully collecting data from kids.
視頻軟件TikTok有著數(shù)量巨大的兒童用戶。美國聯(lián)邦貿(mào)易委員會以非法收集兒童數(shù)據(jù)為由罰了這款熱門視頻軟件的法人570萬美元。

The TikTok app, formerly known as , will now restrict functionality for kids 12 and under.
TikTok，以前叫現(xiàn)在開始會對十二歲及以下的兒童限制使用功能。

The FTC says TikTok violated the privacy law COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act), which says web services can’t collect personally?identifiable?information (like email address, IP address, or geolocation information) from kids under 13 without parental consent.
美國聯(lián)邦貿(mào)易委員會稱TikTok違反了隱私法《兒童在線隱私保護法案》，該法案要求網(wǎng)站運營商在未經(jīng)父母的許可的情況下，不能收集13歲以下的兒童的個人身份信息（比如郵箱地址、IP地址和地理位置）。

“The operators of —now known as TikTok—knew many children were using the app but they still failed to seek parental consent before collecting names, email addresses, and other personal information from users under the age of 13,” said FTC Chairman Joe Simons.
美國聯(lián)邦貿(mào)易委員會主席Joe Simon說：“，現(xiàn)在叫TikTok，的運營商明知有很多兒童在使用這款軟件，卻未能在收集13歲以下的用戶的姓名、郵箱地址和其他個人信息前征求他們父母的許可?！?/div>

TikTok asks for a variety of personal identification from kids (and everybody else) on sign-up, and was setting that information to “public” (collectable and shareable) by default.?
在注冊時，TikTok向兒童（以及其他所有人）要求了各種各樣的個人身份信息，并默認(rèn)將這些信息設(shè)置為“公開”（可收集和共享）。

TikTok will release a new version of the app today requiring users to state their date of birth before using the app.?
TikTok今天會發(fā)布新版本，要求用戶在使用該軟件前先表明出生年月。

If a kid signs up and indicates an age under 13, they’ll be sent to a limited-function version of the app where they can’t record and publish videos within the TikTok or publish them directly to the TikTok network. TikTok says it will take down all videos shot by users under 13.
如果一個孩子注冊并顯示年齡在13歲以下，他們將會收到一個功能受限的app版本，在這個版本里他們不能在Tiktok內(nèi)錄制和發(fā)布視頻，也不能直接上傳到Tiktok網(wǎng)絡(luò)。Tiktok說，它將刪除13歲以下的用戶拍攝的所有視頻。

Since TikTok’s in-app video tools are one of the main attractions, kids will very likely lie about their age to get to them.?
由于Tiktok的應(yīng)用程序內(nèi)視頻工具是最大的賣點之一，為了能用上它們，孩子們很可能會謊報年齡。

This is standard operating procedure, as kids do the same thing to access other sites like Instagram or Facebook without parental consent.
這是一套標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的操作流程，就像之前，未經(jīng)父母允許的情況下，孩子們也這樣干來登上Ins和臉書之類的網(wǎng)站。
