Venezuela Hits TikTok With $10 Million Fine Over Deadly Viral Challenges
In a bold move, Venezuela's Supreme Court fined TikTok $10 million, citing its failure to prevent dangerous viral video challenges linked to children's deaths. The platform now has eight days to set up a local office to monitor content as Venezuela tightens its grip on social media regulations. This decision follows President Maduro's criticism after a 12-year-old girl's tragic death tied to a TikTok challenge. The international community watches closely as Venezuela pushes for increased platform accountability.
