**Executive summary:** The UK Information Commissioner's Office fined Reddit £14.47 million for processing children's data without a lawful basis and for failing to conduct a required Data Protection Impact Assessment and effective age-assurance until mid-2025; Reddit now uses third-party verifier Persona for mature-content checks, says it will appeal, and the ICO is pursuing broader enforcement across multiple platforms.
