The ICO's own press release has more detail: https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs...

In brief if you offer services to children under 13 you have to get the consent of the parents. Tiktok didn't take care to check if users were under 13, nor attempt to get consent. The ICO estimates 1.4 million children came under this category (in the UK, 2020).

So a fine of £9/breach effectively; that seems ridiculously low.

It's also ridiculously hypocritical to assume parents who leave their kids glued to their phones would not give consent, however that would be.

Not the law though
