BRUSSELS, Feb 17 — TikTok, Twitter, Apple Store, Amazon and several other online platforms have announced user figures in Europe that bring them under stricter EU regulations for policing internet content.
That is the threshold above which they are categorised as a “Very Large Online Platform” or a “Very Large Online Search Engine” under the DSA.One major non-American one was Chinese-owned TikTok, which on Friday said it had 125 million active monthly users in the EU. Swedish music-streaming site Spotify, British-based site OnlyFans, which streams content from sex workers and other content creators, and US dating app Tinder all said only that their active monthly users came in below the 45-million mark.
It aims to crack down on illegal online content, counter the online sale of unsafe goods, better protect minors, boost transparency around internet services and data use, and give users more choice and information when they use the internet in the European Union. The figure goes beyond just registered users to encompass those exposed to information or services online, or those who request online information without necessarily having an account with the platform.
