TikTok因未能正确本地化条款和条件而受到处罚。 111--翻译技术速递

TikTok, the short-form video app that has seen a dramatic, if not entirely uncontroversial, rise in popularity since its release in 2016, was hit with a €750,000 fine by Dutch authorities on Thursday, July 22, for not having its full privacy terms and conditions in Dutch, according to Euronews. The fine comes after the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority, or DPA) began an investigation in May of 2020 over whether the app sufficiently protected the privacy of children under Dutch law and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation. Dutch legislation surrounding data privacy is based on the principle that information must be provided in such a way that people are “given a clear idea of what is being done with their personal data,” per a statement released by the DPA (statement is in Dutch). If such information is not provided in the national, common, or official language of a region, and instead only in English, one cannot expect the average user — especially a minor — to have a clear idea of the content of the communication. This isn’t the first time the widely used app has found itself in hot water in the EU. In February of 2021, the European Consumer Organization (Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs, or BEUC) issued a press release claiming that the app breached several EU consumer rights regulations and failed to safeguard children appropriately. In the same month, Italy announced it would require all TikTok users to verify their age and block users who cannot prove they are over 13 years old.

据欧洲新闻（Euronews）报道，自2016年发布以来，短格式视频应用抖音（TikTok）的受欢迎程度大幅上升，如果不是完全没有争议的话。7月22日星期四，荷兰当局向和罚款75万欧元，原因是它没有用荷兰语提供完整的隐私条款和条件。此前，荷兰数据保护局（Dutch Data Protection Authority,DPA）于2020年5月开始调查该应用程序是否根据荷兰法律和欧盟的《通用数据保护条例》充分保护了儿童的隐私。根据荷兰《政治部》发布的一份声明（声明为荷兰语），荷兰围绕数据隐私的立法基于这样一项原则，即信息的提供必须使人们“清楚地知道和个人数据正在做什么”。如果这种信息不是以一个区域的国家语文、通用语文或官方语文提供的，而是以英语提供的，就不能指望普通用户----特别是未成年人----清楚地了解通信的内容。这不是这款被广泛使用的应用程序第一次在欧盟陷入困境。2021年2月，欧洲消费者组织（Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs，简称BEUC）发布了一份新闻稿，声称该应用程序违反了多项欧盟消费者权益法规，未能适当保护儿童。同月，意大利宣布将要求所有TikTok用户验证自己的年龄，并屏蔽无法证明自己超过13岁的用户。
