TikTok is not fully prepared for new European rules on social media, the European Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager said on Tuesday.

The European Commission has performed a stress test of TikTok, a Chinese short-video app owned by ByteDance. The test was voluntary and the results show that TikTok has “more work” to do to meet tough new European standards that are coming for social media and content moderation. The report by EU Commissioner Thierry Breton comes ahead of a looming Aug. 25 deadline for platforms such as TikTok to comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA) — a package of regulations aimed at battling misinformation, potential privacy abuses and illegal content, among other things. European Commission staff conducted the TikTok test on Monday at the company’s Dublin offices, according to a statement from the commissioner, and Breton outlined the results of the voluntary inspection to CEO Shou Chew on Tuesday. “TikTok is dedicating significant resources to compliance,” Breton said, pointing to changes TikTok has made to its recommendation algorithms and its transparency procedures as evidence the company appears to be taking its obligations seriously. But, he added, the test results also showed “more work is needed to be fully ready for the compliance deadline.” “Now it is time to accelerate to be fully compliant,” Breton said, indicating that officials will be revisiting at the end of the summer whether TikTok has closed the gap.

It’ not like me to get up so early but I just couldn’t sleep any longer. I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to make myself a cup of coffee. I turned on the TV and watched the news. I didn’t want to miss anything important. I heard about some terrible accident happening somewhere
