TikTok plans to appeal the European Commission's decision to classify it as a 'gatekeeper' under the new Digital Markets Act (DMA). This designation is intended to ensure that large online platforms behave in a fair manner and allow third-party services to interact with their own platforms in specific circumstances. Despite the decision being based on its parent company ByteDance's global market capitalisation, TikTok argues that it does not meet the law's threshold for generated revenues in the European Economic Area, and that it was not granted a market investigation by the European Commission, despite other platforms in similar situations receiving one.
The Digital Markets Act aims to regulate large online platforms and ensure they behave fairly. TikTok plans to appeal the European Commission's decision to designate it as a 'gatekeeper' and argues that it does not meet the law's threshold for revenues generated in the European Economic Area. Despite the decision being based on its parent company ByteDance's global market capitalisation, TikTok notes that this figure is not solely based on its commercial performance in the region but also business lines that do not operate in Europe. The company also highlights that it was not granted a market investigation by the European Commission, while other platforms in similar situations did receive one, and the evidence it provided in a rebuttal submission was not accepted.
