The European Commission on Wednesday gave TikTok 24 hours to explain the risk assessment procedures it used before launching a version of the made-in-China app that rewards users for using it in certain ways.
The app is called TikTok Lite and offers the chance to “to complete challenging tasks and earn great rewards!”
Rewards include Amazon vouchers, PayPal gift cards, or TikTok’s in-app currency that can be used to tip other members.
It soon drew the attention of European commissioner for internal markets Thierry Breton, who asked “Is social media ‘lite’ as addictive and toxic as cigarettes ‘light’?”
The debut of TikTok Lite adds to the app’s European woes, which have already seen the EU investigate whether the outfit is meeting its obligations to operate with transparency and to protect minors."
Vine was a short video-sharing app run by Twitter that gathered 200 million users before the avian social network closed it in 2016 – the same year TikTok came to America.
