> Commenting on the Commission’s enforcement action in a statement, Thierry Breton, the commissioner for the EU Internal Market, wrote: “… We suspect TikTok ‘Lite’ could be as toxic and addictive as cigarettes ‘light’. Unless TikTok provides compelling proof of its safety, which it has failed to do until now, we stand ready to trigger DSA interim measures including the suspension of TikTok Lite feature which we suspect could generate addiction. We will spare no effort to protect our children.”
can someone please think of the children?
a bit more seriously:
1. are there any studies into the harms of cigarettes vs harms of tiktok lite/social media?
2. does the DSA’s “risk assessment” cover risks to EU users only or EU businesses as well?
3. are there any steps taken to make sure we won’t have politicians abuse the DSA to target unfriendly companies? specifically forbidding of micro managing various features and products by the politicians of the day? or is the DSA exactly this?
