Setback for TikTok as EU court adviser backs gatekeeper label
Brussels, October 15 - A European Union court adviser has thrown support behind EU regulators in their legal battle against TikTok, regarding the company's classification as a gatekeeper under crucial EU regulations. Advocate General Andrea Biondi of the Court of Justice of the European Union, in a recent opinion, stated that the Court should reject ByteDance's challenge to the Commission's decision designating it as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act.
Judges, who will deliver their verdict in the coming months, typically adhere to four out of five non-binding recommendations. The legal dispute is identified as C-627/24 P Bytedance v Commission.
