Our children are not guinea pigs for social media.

I take note of TikTok’s decision to suspend the #TikTokLite “Reward Program” in the EU.

The cases against TikTok on the risk of addictiveness of the platform continue.

#DSA ensures the safety of our 🇪🇺 online space.

🚨We suspect #TikTokLite feature to be toxic & addictive, in particular for children.

Unless TikTok provides compelling proof of safety —which it failed to do until now—we stand ready to trigger #DSA interim measures including the #suspension of the TikTokLite "reward programme".

🇪🇺 Democracy: 1️⃣ | Lobby: 0️⃣

I welcome the overwhelming support from European Parliament for our #AIAct —the world's 1st comprehensive, binding rules for trusted AI.

Europe is NOW a global standard-setter in AI.

We are regulating as little as possible — but as much as needed!

🚨Under the #DMA, there is no room for threats by gatekeepers to silence developers.

I have asked our services to look into Apple’s termination of Epic’s developer account as a matter of priority.

To all developers in 🇪🇺 & 🌍: now is the time to have your say on gatekeepers’ compliance solutions!

Historic!

The EU becomes the very first continent to set clear rules for the use of AI 🇪🇺

The #AIAct is much more than a rulebook — it's a launchpad for EU startups and researchers to lead the global AI race.

The best is yet to come! 👍
