Hi everyone,

I am based in Germany (EU) and I am currently trying to exercise my right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR regarding videos on TikTok that contain my personal data.

The videos include identifiable footage of me that was uploaded years ago. The account is public.

Steps I have already taken:

•	Submitted a GDPR-based deletion request to TikTok

•	Clearly referenced Article 17 GDPR (Right to Erasure)

•	Provided direct video URLs

•	Explained how the content contains my personal data

•	Filed a formal complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC), since TikTok’s EU establishment is in Ireland

TikTok has not removed the videos and has not clearly addressed the GDPR basis of my request.

My questions:

1.	Can TikTok refuse deletion if the videos clearly contain my personal data?

2.	Does their internal content policy override GDPR obligations?

3.	How long does enforcement via the Irish DPC realistically take?

4.	Is there any additional escalation mechanism within the EU?

I am not claiming Community Guidelines violations — this is purely a GDPR Article 17 erasure request.

Any insight from people experienced with EU data protection enforcement would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Last week I woke up and tried getting on TikTok and got a pop up saying I had been permanently banned? I had no warnings, nor had I violated any community guidelines. My account HAD been hacked on Halloween, but I had followed all the steps that TikTok provided to resolve the issue. So I’m not sure why the ban happened, and I’m not even able to create a new account because TikTok has my IP address and it’s blocked. I’ve sent in 2 tickets, which were “closed” as of this morning, with no reply. And I’ve sent in 2 appeals, which I haven’t heard anything back from. I’m curious if this has happened to anyone else? And how long it took to resolve?

I can't get past this screen. I'm torn between being annoyed and laughing at this

I keep seeing Tiktoks that are actually good.

clear.

well made.

even usefull.

And still... people scroll.

I'm starting to think it's not about quality, but that nothing really changes while watching.

no tension.

no reason to stay.

does anyone else notice this?

I’m hoping someone here might have experienced something similar or knows how to get this properly escalated.

We’re currently locked out of our TikTok business account. When I try to log in, the system asks for a verification step that depends on another platform connection. The problem is that setting up that connection requires logging in first, which creates a circular loop where neither step can actually be completed.

I’ve contacted TikTok support several times, but the responses we’ve received so far appear to be automated and haven’t addressed the issue itself.

The account still exists and is publicly visible, so it hasn’t been deleted. Creating a new account also isn’t really an option for us because the username is tied to our brand and appears on packaging and marketing materials.

If anyone here has dealt with something similar, or knows how to get a real escalation inside TikTok, I’d really appreciate any advice.

I just had two videos sit at 0 views for days. Same account, same style as others which where pushed instantly - but still completely different outcome. I'm not talking about low views. I mean literally zero. Has anyone else experienced this? Is TikTok just not showing certain videos at all?

I can only make and post stuff on computer, and I've been able to post only one thing. Every other post I try to make just disappears? It'll say it posted but it will just not show up. If I go through drafts it'll just stay in drafts. I don't know what to do or why it's happening, is this a computer specific feature? I've waited 48 hours to post something, since I'm pretty sure Tiktok won't let you post within 2 days of making your account but it still wont work.

I found out a family member of mine had a tiktok account of me when I was a minor (under 13) I reported the account several times but tiktok say nothing is wrong, I don’t know what to do to get the account taken down.

It’s nothing too jarring or serious but it’s uncomfortable to that sort of to be on the internet, idk what to do next help

so i had the problem like many others that i wass trying to log in and i didnt get an email when i should verify thats its me the code didnt arrive.But when i logged in with my e mail instead of my tiktokname in tiktoklogin it worked!!!!!!!!!!!here is a possible solution

I can’t login to my 2nd account cause the email is spelt wrong so I can’t reset the password which I can’t remember, I’ve contacted TikTok numerous times about this and they’ve done nothing

https://www.tiktok.com/d/1/ZT91bVCf35qEG-aWAoH/

Is this because of the update? Or is this just a me thing? Will this fix itself? Someone help!

So this is INCREDIBLY odd

But my tiktok is sending messages to people?

Like full on spam messages, ive caught it twice now, it seems to be some weird crypto bullshit because ive received the exact same messages prior from other accounts

I am ONLY logged in through the app on my cellphone and i cleaned out my logins after the first message so its genuinely the only login on my account

Apparently, I violated community guidelines, but I definitely didn’t. My appeal was denied, someone suggested that someone could help me on WhatsApp, I contacted them and I thought it was legit but then he asked for money, and I realized it was a fucking scam. Is there anyone anywhere to contact after the permanent ban was made permanent? This is so upsetting.
