TikTok is spending €1.2 billion to dodge bans in Europe.
European politicians are nervous about where TikTok’s data goes. The company is spending big on local data centers, but analysts say it’s not enough.
“TikTok poses several unacceptable risks for European users, including data access by Chinese authorities, censorship, and the tracking of journalists".

#EU specified #bigtech gatekeepers: Meta is designated as a gatekeeper for five of its services: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Meta Marketplace. Three Apple services were designated: the App Store, Safari and Apple iOS. Amazon Marketplace and Amazon ads were the services designated for Amazon. Microsoft has two services concerned too: LinkedIn and Windows PC OS. ByteDance is concerned only so far as its application TikTok.

The EU Digital Services Act officially came into force on Friday.
People in the European Union's 27 member states can now alter some of what shows up when they search, scroll, and share on the biggest social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook and other tech giants like Google and Amazon.
Europeans will notice five changes when they log into their social media accounts.

How the EU Digital Services Act affects Facebook, Google and others as the threat of big fines and EU-wide bans aims to curb manipulative practices and harmful content.
The unprecedented regulation forcing online giants including Facebook, X, Google and TikTok to better police the content they deliver within the EU comes in force today.
So what is the legislation and how will regulators enforce it?

The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) comes into force this week and will affect some of the world’s biggest tech and social media giants.
It’s a milestone moment in regulating big tech, to keep users safe online and stop the spread of harmful content that's illegal or violates a platform's terms of service.
It also looks to protect Europeans' fundamental rights like privacy and free speech.

Starting from Friday, #EU could also temporarily ban a tech company from operating within the bloc under exceptional cases of serious non-compliance. Brussels will be supported by national watchdogs in countries where companies have their European headquarters, including Ireland. #bigtech
