EU Court Denies TikTok's Request to Delay DMA Compliance

TikTok must comply with the Digital Markets Act as the EU court rejects its bid to suspend gatekeeper status.

The EU General Court dismissed TikTok's request for an interim measure to delay compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), citing a lack of demonstrated urgency.
TikTok, owned by ByteDance, is appealing its designation as a gatekeeper under the DMA but must comply with regulations set to take effect in March.
As a gatekeeper, TikTok faces obligations like allowing third-party access and requiring consent for personalized advertising, along with potential fines for non-compliance.
TikTok is also facing a separate EU probe into its content moderation practices for minors under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
TikTok and Meta are contesting certain EU designations and a content moderation law fee, indicating ongoing legal battles with the EU.
