TikTok Refuses to be Labeled as an EU Online ‘Gatekeeper’
On Wednesday, TikTok dismissed the European Union’s ruling to categorize the video sharing platform as one of the “gatekeeper” companies obligated to adhere to stricter regulations regarding their online operations.
“We support the DMA’s goal of creating a competitive operating environment in Europe, but fundamentally disagree with this decision,” a TikTok spokesperson said in a statement.
“We are very disappointed that market research was not conducted prior to this decision and we are evaluating our next steps.”
