The European Union (EU) has ordered TikTok to freeze data linked to recent Romanian elections due to possible interference, the bloc said in a statement on Thursday.
The European Commission issued a “retention order” under the bloc’s sweeping Digital Services Act (DSA), which regulates how social media platforms and tech companies operate in Europe.
The EU demanded TikTok “freeze and preserve data related to actual or forseeable systemic risks” the platform could pose to “electoral processes and civic discourse” in the EU.
