EU opens formal investigation into TikTok over possible online content breaches regarding online content rules aimed at protecting children and ensuring transparent advertising
EU industry chief Thierry Breton said he took the decision after analysing the short video app's risk assessment report and its replies to requests for information.
"Today we open an investigation into TikTok over suspected breach of transparency & obligations to protect minors: addictive design & screen time limits, rabbit hole effect, age verification, default privacy settings," Breton said.
I welcome the investigation against TikTok, but find it weird that Mr Breton announces that on Twitter/X, or is it just me?
Why would that be weird? Which platform would you have preferred (other than Mastodon, I guess)?
I have read about this procedure yesterday and it was also on twitter, from the account of the Commission.
Well, I feel X broke as many rules as Tiktok, there's not much difference between the two. The EU (and all others) should ditch both I would say. But that's just my opinion.
