Video-sharing social media app TikTok
said Thursday it disagrees with the decision by Italy's
antitrust authority to fine it 10 million euros for allegedly
failing to protect minors and other vulnerable users from
potentially harmful content.
"We disagree with this decision," said a spokesperson for the
Chinese-owned company.
"The content linked to the so-called 'French scar' registered a
daily average of just 100 searches per day in Italy before the
Antitrust authority announced the start of its investigation
last year," the spokesperson added.
"We have long since reduced the visibility of such content to
users under the age of 18, even excluding them from the 'For
You' page'," the spokesperson concluded.
