EU tightens TikTok controls following the Romania case

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, DEC 5 - In light of the ongoing Romanian elections, the European Commission has increased its TikTok monitoring under the Digital Services Act. The EU executive has therefore issued a "preservation order" to TikTok, ordering the platform to freeze and preserve data relating to actual or foreseeable systemic risks that its service may pose to electoral processes and civic discourse in the EU. "This is to preserve available information and evidence in the event that the Commission conducts a subsequent investigation into TikTok's compliance with its DSA obligations," explains the EU executive.
