TikTok will begin labelling content created using artificial intelligence (AI) when content is uploaded from outside its platform. TikTok says its efforts are an attempt to combat misinformation from being spread on its social media platform. “AI enables incredible creative opportunities, but can confuse or mislead viewers if they don’t know (the) content was AI-generated,” the company said in a prepared statement Thursday. "Labeling helps make that context clear – which is why we label AIGC made with TikTok AI effects and have required creators to label realistic AIGC for over a year". The mo...

Social media platform TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance are suing the United States over a law that would force the company to sell the popular video-sharing app or face a ban. The lawsuit filed on Tuesday may be setting up what could be a protracted legal fight over TikTok's future in the US. The popular social video company alleged the law, which president Joe Biden signed as part of a larger $95 billion foreign aid package, is so "obviously unconstitutional" that the sponsors of The Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act are trying to portray t...

The Chinese-owned platform has some 142 million users in the EU, predominantly young Europeans, making it crucial campaigning territory for those seeking the youth vote. But some candidates are intentionally spurning the platform, amid concerns the Chinese government could snoop on sensitive data and that disinformation could skew the vote. Ursula von der Leyen, the centre-right European People Party’s lead candidate, will forgo TikTok in the run up to the vote, her campaign team confirmed last Friday, in a move designed to uphold her executive’s increasingly hawkish stance on the platform. On...

TikTok has said it will challenge new US legislation requiring its parent company to sell it under threat of a ban in court. The law signed this week by US President Joe Biden states that TikTok's Chinese-based parent company ByteDance has 270 days with a possible 90-day extension to divest from the app or face a ban. "This unconstitutional law is a TikTok ban, and we will challenge it in court. We believe the facts and the law are clearly on our side, and we will ultimately prevail," TikTok said in a statement earlier this week. Should a legal challenge fail, observers say Chinese authorities...

TikTok has voluntarily suspended the rewards functions in its TikTok Lite app in the wake of European Commission investigations, the social media announced today (24 April). The suspension will start as of today for an initial period of 60 days for new users and by the end of the week for all other users in France and Spain. The roll-out in other member states has been paused as well. "TikTok always seeks to engage constructively with the EU Commission and other regulators. We are therefore voluntarily suspending the rewards functions in TikTok Lite while we address the concerns that they have...

Concerns are growing regarding disinformation and artificial intelligence (AI) generated content ahead of the EU elections in June. The European Commission published recommended measures in March for digital platforms with more than 45 million EU-based users per month “to mitigate systemic risks online that may impact the integrity of elections”. In addition, many platforms committed to the EU's Code of Practice on Disinformation "to address both misinformation and disinformation across their services,” a Commission spokesperson said. We expect the main disinformation narratives will have very...

The European Commission today (24 April) opened infringement procedures against Estonia, Poland and Slovakia because they have not yet designated their Digital Services Coordinators, the national regulators needed under the EU’s platform regulation. The deadline for establishing these watchdogs – who are the online platform's main point of contact in helping the European Commission with collecting evidence on implementation of the Digital Services Act (DSA) – was 17 February. In addition, Cyprus, Czechia and Portugal also received a formal Commission letter because they did not empower their r...

The US Senate passed legislation on Tuesday that would force TikTok's parent company to sell the platform or face a ban. Congress has now sent the legislation to be signed by President Joe Biden, who said he would approve the move. The TikTok legislation was part of a larger package that included aid for Ukraine and Israel. The bill gives TikTok owner ByteDance nine months to sell the platform, with a possible three-month extension. But legal challenges could mean it could take longer. The platform is used by 170 million Americans and the bill reflects long-held fears over Chinese threats. Why...

It takes on average 23 to 26 minutes of video watching for TikTok and YouTube Shorts to recommend toxic or misogynistic content to the accounts of young men, according to a new study. The study from Dublin City University tracked the content recommended to 10 “sockpuppet” TikTok and YouTube Short accounts created by the researchers on new smartphones. The accounts were all directed to show the search interests of 16 and 18-year-old boys either with regular content, like sports or video games, or to replicate those that purposely look for misogynistic content online. The research found that it ...

TikTok is subject to a second probe under the Digital Services Act (DSA) over the launch of its TikTok Lite app in France and Spain, the European Commission said today (22 April). The Commission will investigate whether TikTok’s policy is in line with the DSA and if it conducted a risk assessment prior to rolling out the functions, and whether it took measures to mitigate the risks. Through TikTok Lite, users over 18 years old can earn points under a so-called “Reward Program”, while performing certain tasks on the app, such as watching videos, liking content, following creators or inviting fr...
