The European Commission has received a response from TikTok regarding its concerns about the mental health risks associated with the new TikTok Lite app’s rewards scheme. The Commission had sent a legally binding order to TikTok requesting an assessment of the potential addictiveness and mental health implications of the scheme, particularly for children. TikTok initially responded by stating that it had conducted a risk assessment but could not share the document. The Commission then issued a binding order, to which TikTok has now replied.

If it finds that TikTok has not adequately addressed the concerns, it could impose fines of up to 1% of TikTok’s global annual revenue, with periodic fines of 5% of its daily revenue. The Commission is also considering ordering TikTok to suspend the rewards feature if it deems the risks to be too severe.
