🔴 We have closed our first case under the Digital Services Act.
TikTok has committed to permanently withdraw the TikTok Lite Rewards programme from the EU.
The platform has also committed not to launch any other programme which would circumvent the withdrawal.
We will carefully monitor TikTok's legally binding commitments. Any breach would immediately amount to a breach of the DSA and could lead to fines.

@EUCommission I'd be more happy with "TikTok has committed to permanently withdraw from the EU." ;)
@EUCommission that's a great result! Congratulations and thank you!
@EUCommission Why? Doesn't the eu strive to be like china.
Chat control is one of them.
@EUCommission "The Rewards programme, which may stimulate addictive behaviour, could potentially have negative effects on the physical and mental health of users. This is of particular concern for minors, who may have a heightened sensitivity to such features." thank you European Commission!
@EUCommission I do not have yet installed TikTok. Maybe one day I will do it.
@EUCommission
Yeah! That's really good news. Please keep protecting your citizens from such harmful apps... there are too many out there already... #TikTok #meta #facebook #instagram #X
@EUCommission hey look UK, look what an organisation with clout can do.
Now let's go back to our Prime Minister meekly asking Elon Musk not to call for Civil War in England.
@EUCommission TikTok lite = that less evil/stupid/annoying than full TT?
@EUCommission try enforcing the DMA next please
@EUCommission not only tiktok many other apps do the interests of big corporations or governments (US, China & Russia). EU should promote DataProtection and opensource software such as androidAOSP or KDEplasma Linux, Next Cloud self-hosted on trueNas with Proxmox(practical example public online libraries, etc.),PWAwebsites,securencrypted chats & Browser,OpenStreetMaps,OSINT journalism,Fedivers, investment in Public Universities with AI hardware for research materials,medicine,sustainability,etc.
Hi @CiaobyDany, thank you for your support!
The safety and well-being of social media users need to be a number one priority and this is a concrete example of how we're working to uphold that!
