TikTok must respond within 24 hours to a "request for information" on this service, launched in France and Spain. Users are paid based on the time spent watching videos.
The more videos he watches, the more tokens the Internet user receives. He is also rewarded if he logs in every day, if he follows content creators, and if he convinces loved ones to download the service. These tokens are then exchangeable for Amazon vouchers. Enough to encourage excessive use of the video application, already accused of monopolizing the attention of adolescents and young adults. Brussels is demanding more information about the risk assessment report the company supposedly carried out before going live with TikTok Lite on the continent. TikTok is already under investigation by Brussels for violating the Digital Services Act on the protection of minors or advertising transparency. The Commission may impose fines in the event of communication of incorrect, incomplete or false information in the case of TikTok's failure to respond to the Commission's request for information.
