Arr, the European Union be sending TikTok a letter askin' for info on their newfangled app, TikTok Lite, all in the name of cleanin' up the seas of social media. Aye, they be wantin' to know what be goin' on with that treasure map!
Arrr, me hearties! The scallywags at the European Union be demandin' answers from TikTok about a new app that be payin' landlubbers to watch videos. The scallywags at the European Commission be sendin' a "request for information" to TikTok about the TikTok Lite app that be sailin' in France and Spain.They be wantin' to know about the risk assessment that TikTok should have done before launchin' the app in the European Union. The commission be wieldin' the Digital Services Act like a cutlass, lookin' to clean up the social media seas.TikTok Lite lets users "earn great rewards" like Amazon vouchers and gift cards on PayPal by watchin' videos, likin' content, and followin' creators. But beware, ye must be 18 years or older to claim yer booty!The commission be keepin' a weather eye on the app's impact on minors and the mental health of users, worryin' about addictive behavior. TikTok has until April 26 to hand over the risk assessment and other measures to mitigate these risks.So, me hearties, it be a race against time for TikTok to satisfy the commission's demands or face walkin' the plank. Let's see if they can navigate these treacherous waters!
