Commission Split Over TikTok Strategy Amid Foreign Influence Fears

European Commission officials are divided over how to handle TikTok, with some worried that Brussels is losing leverage to foreign powers if it doesn't actively push content on the platform. The debate reflects broader tensions within EU institutions over digital sovereignty and platform regulation.

Byte's take

The Commission can't agree on whether to fight TikTok or join it, paralyzing EU digital sovereignty just when Beijing's influence matters most.
