🔔 New updates under the Digital Services Act 🔔 Today, the European Commission accepted TikTok’s commitments to permanently withdraw the TikTok Lite Rewards programme from the EU and not to launch any other programme which would circumvent the withdrawal. These commitments are legally binding, meaning that any breach of the commitments would amount to a breach of the DSA and could therefore lead to fines. With this decision, the Commission closes the second set of proceedings opened against TikTok on 22 April.
