The law is from 2018. And described exactly what was forbidden for underage children privacy. The fact that Ticktock didn't comply until 2021 is their own fault.

Small correction: GDPR was passed in May 2016, but only came into effect in Apr 2018, precisely so that companies had two years to make the necessary changes.

In other words, GDPR is literally older than TikTok by 3-4 months (initial release: September 2016).

In this case, perhaps, but this is a serious problem in the EU, in general. The EU is destroying business.
