The Stichting Onderzoek Marktinformatie (“SOMI“) summoned Tiktok Technology Limited (“TikTok“) to appear before Amsterdam District Court on 15 September 2021 for the large-scale infringement of the privacy and consumer rights of 1 million Dutch children who use TikTok.[1]
SOMI wants to put an end to the unlawful conduct of TikTok. SOMI is claiming compensation on behalf of all these children, inter alia on the basis of the GDPR. The claimed compensation amounts to approximately € 1.4 billion in total.
