Assigning blame to the CxOs can be tricky. In this case the actual violations were from 2020, well before the EU even began its investigation, and some of the C-suite staff has changed.
Should it be the current C-suite that’s fired or the ones in charge when the violation occurred? Or maybe the ones in charge when the original policy at TikTok was created? Or what if the current C-suite was in charge, briefly, for the violating period but they’re also they ones that changed things to be in compliance before the investigation began, should they still be fired?
The diffuse responsibility makes this stuff tricky to implement.
