“TikTok has filed with the European Commission extensive information on these efforts, and we have publicly and transparently presented all of our effective actions,” the statement continues.

“We do not accept paid political advertising, we proactively remove content that violates our policies on misinformation, harassment and hate speech, and we continue to work with the European Commission as well as local and national authorities to address requests and discuss concerns,” the statement concludes.
