Publishing timestamp: 2023-01-30 06:20:59
Summary
TikTok has largely evaded regulatory scrutiny in Europe, but is now beginning to feel the sting of political and regulatory pressure. European Commission is pressuring tech giants to get their houses in order before a September 1 deadline, including TikTok. There are concerns that Beijing could influence how TikTok targets its users to engage in propaganda or censorship. Investigations into TikTok's accessing of users' data in China are underway, and the outcome is not expected until late this year or 2024.
