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".

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.

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.
