TikTok challenges EU ‘gatekeeper’ status at Europe’s top court

Bytedance’s social media platform TikTok on Tuesday made a last- ditch attempt at Europe’s top court to scrap its designation as a “gatekeeper” under EU rules, which require it to meet tougher standards as regulators seek to curb the power of Big Tech.

The case–the first EU Digital Markets Act “gatekeeper” challenge heard by the EU Court of Justice–could bolster ‌or weaken Europe’s ⁠attempt ⁠to rein in Big Tech to ensure competition and more choice for users.
