EU alerts TikTok users over  “illegal content and misinformation

Following the brutal Hamas attack in Israel on Thursday, the top tech policeman for the EU, Commissioner Thierry Breton, warned TikTok about “illegal content and disinformation” on its platform.

The alert was similar to those Breton issued this week to X, formerly Twitter, and Facebook parent Meta, and included a request that Chinese-owned TikTok respond within 24 hours with information on how it is combating online misinformation.
