We do have those laws in the EU. Parliament is inviting the TikTok CEO to question him about their adherence to those very laws. TikTok is legally required to actively work against manipulation especially around things like elections so they should have be on top of the botting that apparently went on. They’re supposed to follow these guidelines.
…of course, parliament could have left it to the commission to enforce this stuff, i.e. fine TikTok, but as this is an election it’s absolutely legitimate to make a public scene. Drag that CEO before parliament and make him scramble for excuses before the presidential run-offs and parliament elections. Then post it to TikTok.
TikTok isn’t a scapegoat, here, they’re being made an example of. Important difference.
