TikTok, whose parent company ByteDance is Chinese, has come under fierce Western scrutiny in recent months amid concerns over how much access Beijing has to user data. theSun theSundaily TikTok Respect datalaws EU

: The European Union warned Chinese-owned online giant TikTok on Tuesday to respect EU law and ensure the safety of European users’ data, as the video-sharing app’s CEO met top officials in Brussels.

“I count on TikTok to fully execute its commitments to go the extra mile in respecting EU law and regaining trust of European regulators,“ Jourova, whose portfolio includes the protection of EU values, tweeted alongside a video of their meeting. ByteDance is already under investigation by the Irish privacy regulator, the DPC, over whether it violated the EU’s data protection law, the GDPR, in the way it processed children’s personal data and over transfers of data to China.

The Digital Services Act forces social media platforms, online marketplaces and search engines to react more quickly to remove content deemed in breach of EU regulations.
