The 🇮🇹 Autorità Antitrust has fined TikTok for inadequately protecting young people on its platform❗️❗️ This problem is something we had warned authorities about with our #TikTokWithoutFilters action in 2021. ➡️beuc.eu/enforcement/ti… x.com/antitrust_it/s…
A must-read op-ed by Jan Bertoft 👇 “Politicians usually recoil in horror: "We shouldn't get involved in what people have on their plates". They "forget" that they are already doing it, with various subsidies and targeted support" 💯 #FoodEnvironments
