Giants like TikTok TwitterThe Apple Store and Amazon, among others, on Friday announced the number of users in the European Union (EU) that are forcing them to comply with the bloc’s new internet surveillance rules.
All these platforms advertised the number of users in Union European more than 45 million, which must now be subject to stringent measures under the Digital Services Act (LSD), which went into effect in November.
The search divisions of Google, Google Maps, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram have also joined this group.
strict supervision
According to LSD rules, platforms with more than 45 million users must undergo annual reviews and explain the measures taken to prevent illegal content on the Internet.
Commission European (the executive body of the EU) can also order them to disclose and explain their algorithms or databases that these platforms are usually kept under lock and key.
Potential penalties for any “Very Large Online Platform” (VLOP) or “Very Large Online Search Engine” (VLOSE) that do not qualify can be as high as 6% of their global annual revenue.
Platforms with less than 45 million users also have obligations, albeit less stringent and appropriate to their size and scope.
Not all affected platforms are American: tik takowned by China, announced on Friday that it has 125 million monthly active users. Union European.
Some of these web giants reacted angrily to the introduction of the new rules, and some simply indicated whether they exceeded the established threshold, but without any precision.
This was the case with Amazon and the Apple Store for iOS apps, which were content with having over 45 million monthly users of their services.
The EU wants specific numbers
Swedish music streaming site Spotify and UK-based OnlyFans, which stream content from sex workers in particular, said they have fewer than 45 million users.
So did the American dating app Tinder.
“We note with some concern that some platforms have only published an assessment of being below the threshold. This is not enough,” warned commission spokesman Johannes Barke.
“The rules are clear. A number is a number. We urge those platforms that have not yet done so to release the numbers immediately,” he added.
The LSD, which is accompanied by another Digital Markets Act (LMD), has introduced strict rules for giant digital companies to better protect consumers in the European Union.
Its purpose is to combat illegal content on the Internet, counteract the online sale of unsafe products, better protect minors, and increase the transparency of Internet services.
It also controls the use of user data. (AFP)
