EU Officials Unveil Shocking Revelation: TikTok's Role in Fueling Israel-Hamas Disinformation Exposed!

EU officials issued a warning to TikTok on Thursday regarding the presence of "illegal content and disinformation" related to the Hamas-Israel conflict on its platform. They urged CEO Shou Zi Chew to provide a response within a 24-hour timeframe. European Commissioner Thierry Breton emphasized that failure to abide by European Union regulations concerning content moderation could lead to penalties.

This is the third letter that Breton has sent to major social media platforms this week, following his warnings to X (formerly known as Twitter) and Meta. These platforms were among the companies addressed by Breton after the Digital Services Act, a new EU law, came into effect in August. This law mandates specific responsibilities for social media companies in safeguarding user privacy and ensuring their safety.

Breton wrote in a letter shared on X, urging TikTok to strengthen its efforts, ensure the effectiveness of its systems, and provide a report on the crisis measures taken to his team.

TikTok didnt immediately respond to a request for comment.
