The app, a simplified version of TikTok, tempts users with cash for activity, raising addiction fears, especially in Spain and France. This investigation, the EU's second into TikTok, specifically targets the app's mental health impacts. This action aligns with broader regulatory moves, including a possible U.S. TikTok ban discussed in Congress, due to security concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the Digital Services Act, TikTok must justify its reward system within 48 hours to avoid a suspension of up to 60 days. The company could also face steep fines for non-compliance, possibly exceeding 6% of its annual global revenue, for violating EU regulations. TikTok asserts that the incentive program excludes minors and includes usage caps, continuing dialogue with the EU to address these regulatory challenges.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\"57px\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_text_aligment=\"center\"][vc_column parallax=\"content-moving\" parallax_image=\"5672\"]<div class=\"edgtf-section-title-holder  edgtf-st-standard edgtf-st-title-left edgtf-st-normal-space \" style=\"text-align: center\">\n\t<div class=\"edgtf-st-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"edgtf-st-title\" style=\"color: #00dd96\">\n\t\t\t\t.newsletter\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Get the latest news on the retail sector!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=\"Subscribe\" style=\"outline-custom\" outline_custom_color=\"#ffffff\" outline_custom_hover_background=\"#666666\" outline_custom_hover_text=\"#ffffff\" shape=\"square\" class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/2fforms.sbc32.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/2Fforms.sbc32.com\" link=\"url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.sbc30.net%2F65046ef85fef6a5fa6e7a5c0%2FYjOyn8WLT_a35h7axR0zhQ%2Fform.html|target:_blank\"][vc_empty_space height=\"12px\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Union is poised to impose fines and potentially suspend TikTok Lite, citing addiction concerns linked to its reward schemes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":8252,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"color_menu":"","footer_color_background":"","featured_image_url":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[305,297],"tags":[],"news-type-taxonomy":[],"news-topic-taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-8251","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-retail-updates","category-retailer-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
