Google and TikTok face tougher EU rules

Tech giants including Facebook, Google, Twitter and TikTok will face new rules imposed by the European Union, which consist of setting an ethical code of conduct and controlling content on these platforms. These changes come as a result of many young people who follow social networks and are predisposed to see posts with content that does not belong to their age, therefore the European Union has asked all owners of these platforms to declare their users.

The new rules, known as the Digital Services Act (DSA), classify companies with more than 45 million users as very large online platforms (VLOPs) and require them to conduct external and independent risk management and auditing. . They will also have to share data with the authorities.

The European Commission had given online platforms and search engines until February 17 to publish their monthly active users. Those labeled as VLOP have four months to comply with the rules or risk fines. Twitter said on Thursday it had 100.9 million average monthly users in the EU, based on an estimate of the past 45 days. Twitter said it has 100.9 million monthly users in the EU, based on an estimate of the last 45 days.

As for Google, the monthly number of registered users was 278.6 million on Google Maps, 274.6 million on Google Play, 332 million on Google Search, 74.9 million on Shopping and 401.7 million on YouTube. Apple said that the App Store, built just for its iPhones, has more than 45 million monthly users, and can be considered a very large platform on the Internet. So the company will apply the same rules to the App Store for iPad, Mac computers, Apple Watch and TV.
