The European Consumer Organization (BEUC) filed a complaint against TikTok, claiming the social network falls foul of multiple breaches of EU consumer rights and fails to protect children from hidden advertising and inappropriate content.
The Brussels-based consumers group outlined its findings in a Tuesday press release, suggesting TikTok s terms and practices are unfair and misleading. In just a few years, TikTok has become one of the most popular social media apps with millions of users across Europe. But TikTok is letting its users down by breaching their rights on a massive scale, BEUC Director General Monique Goyens said in a statement. We have discovered a whole series of consumer rights infringements and therefore filed a complaint against TikTok.
