European Union questions TikTok on new app that pays users for watching
LONDON (AP) — European Union regulators said Wednesday they’re seeking details from TikTok on a new app from the video sharing platform that pays users to watch videos.
The European Commission said it sent TikTok a “request for information” on the TikTok Lite app that has been quietly released in France and Spain.
The commission wants to know about the risk assessment that TikTok should have carried out before deploying the app in the European Union.
“We have already been in direct contact with the Commission regarding this product and will respond to the request for information,” TikTok said in a statement.
Such evaluations are required under the bloc’s Digital Services Act, a sweeping law that took effect last year with the aim of cleaning up social media platforms. The commission is the 27-nation bloc’s executive arm and top enforcer of digital regulations.
