Why Are Creators Paying for TikTok’s Mistake?

The FTC fined TikTok $5.7 million and ordered it to delete personal information of young users, with the option to transfer copies of the videos back to them. However, the FTC also gave TikTok the option to give users copies of their videos. Users logging in for the first time after the order were prompted to give their birthdate, but TikTok’s own interface defaulted to putting in the current date while also not making crystal clear to users why it needed that information and what could result.
