Venezuela’s top court issues a $10 million fine for TikTok over allegedly deadly video challenges

The Venezuelan government must regulate social media platforms that fail to protect young users from dangerous content. TikTok clearly acted negligently and must face the consequences of not complying with local laws.
Venezuela has a history of restricting social media platforms, including blocking dozens of websites and taking radio stations off the air under Maduro's administration. The massive fine is another instance of government overreach and potential censorship.
