Tiktok's attempt to circumvent the EU's new tough digital market law (DMA) is rejected by the EU Court.
DMA is an EU regulatory framework targeting the largest online giants and their way of competing and working with smaller actors.
In an email to TT, Tiktok writes that they are disappointed with the decision and have not yet decided how to proceed, but that they have "taken measures to comply with the relevant obligations under DMA".
According to the regulatory framework, tech giants must provide business users with access to data, allow them to enter into agreements with end customers outside the giants' platforms, and in certain cases permit third-party actors to collaborate with their own services.
The giants are also not allowed to favor their own products in terms of ranking, or prevent customers from uninstalling pre-installed software, or collect data outside the core platform without consent.
