Why did Tik Tok delete my account?

So many TikTok users recently reported that their account got deleted without any notifications and any reason. TikToKers are now looking for methods to get their deleted accounts back and to know why this happened to them.

After lots of research, I came to know the reasons why TikTok randomly deleted accounts, and I have brought them to you.

Reasons why TikTok deleted your account

There are two main answers to why TikTok deleted your account, which I’ve brought for you below:

  • TikTok Is Deleting Accounts after Its $5.7M Compliance Violation

Tiktok was punished by FTC and was forced to pay $5.7M due to violating child privacy laws, and that is why it is randomly deleting lots of accounts which do not qualify with its new restrictions.

After the recent FTC settlement, which has forced TikTok to change their terms in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, users who fall under the minimum age requirement will now have to get parental approval for creating an account on TikTok.

So if TikTok suddenly deleted your account, you might be under 13 years old, or you might have entered the wrong birthdate.
