ByteDance has announced that it will suspend the reward system in the TikTok Lite app, which was introduced in Spain and France and flagged by the EU Commission as potentially unlawful. „TikTok always tries to find a constructive approach with the EU Commission and other regulators. Therefore, we are voluntarily suspending the reward features in TikTok Lite while we address the concerns raised,“ the company stated on Wednesday afternoon. The decision came just one and a half hours before a deadline for a response to the EU Commission was due to expire, so the company temporarily conceded.
