Still Far From Expectations, EU Industry Commissioner Asks TikTok To Improve Compliance With EU Rules
JAKARTA - EU Industry Commissioner Thierry Breton said on Friday May 19 that he recently spoke with TikTok's Chief Executive, Shou Zi Chew, and told him that there was still much to be done by the Chinese company's social network to comply with EU rules.
"Tell him that, until now, there is still a lot of room for improvement, related to better content moderation, avoiding excesses, ensuring safe data use, especially our children's data", Breton told television station France 2.
Several Western countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, and several EU member states, have restricted the use of TikTok for security reasons.

Last month, the European Union highlighted 19 major online platforms, including TikTok, which will be subject to the Digital Services Act (DSA), a series of new online content regulations that take effect from August.
The rules require these companies to carry out risk management, conduct external and independent audits, share data with authorities and researchers, and adopt code of ethics.
A few months ago, Breton had urged TikTok to align its business with the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA).
