TikTok isn’t yet fully compliant with upcoming European Union rules governing content, according to the results of a test conducted by the bloc’s governing body.

European Union Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton and his team carried out the so-called “stress test” at TikTok’s Dublin offices on Monday, according to a statement from the official, who determined that more work is needed to be fully ready EU Digital Services Act’s compliance deadline on Aug. 25.
