TikTok may have run afoul of European regulators over advertising transparency, in the latest bout between EU regulators and big techcompanies. The European Commission has formally warned TikTok that its advertising transparency tools don’t go far enough, falling short of EU rulesrequiring online platforms to maintain a publicly available repository of all paid ads being shown to users.
Regulators are taking issue with the data, or lack thereof, being provided in the repository that TikTok has curated. They claim that TikTok has failed to provide information on who paid for ads, what audiences they are targeting and the precise product or service those ads are promoting.
