“The protection of minors is a top enforcement priority for the DSA. As a platform that reaches millions of children and teenagers, TikTok must fully comply with the DSA and has a particular role to play in the protection of minors online,” said EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, in the document.
This marks the second DSA investigation after Elon Musk’s social media platform X.
Tik Tok can face fines of up to 6% of its global turnover if found guilty of breaching DSA rules.
