What specific actions has the European Commission taken against TikTok, and what are the immediate implications for the company?

The European Commission launched a formal investigation into TikTok on Tuesday, citing concerns about the platform's role in potential election interference, particularly in Romania's recent presidential election. The Commission will examine TikTok's advertising policies, recommendation algorithms, and data handling practices to determine if they facilitated foreign interference. This action follows a December 5th order to freeze data related to the Romanian election and empowers the Commission to enforce further action.
