La UE investiga a TikTok por la privacidad de los menores y su transparencia publicitaria
The European Commission has launched a formal investigation against TikTok for potential violations of the Digital Services Act, prioritizing the protection of minors, advertising transparency, and researchers’ access to data. This review aims to verify whether the platform meets the essential standards of security and public information availability required for external scrutiny. The relevance to open data lies in the requirement for transparency in data access for academic research. The EU is investigating whether TikTok provides reliable and searchable data repositories, which are crucial for auditing algorithms and assessing risks. The threat of significant fines underscores the imperative for major platforms to open-source their data to ensure accountability and protect vulnerable users.
