Not EU as a whole, but Germany takes first steps regarding it. EU usually follows with such things.

It’s just calls talk from what I can see. Nothing even resembling a legal proposal. And EU already can ban it via DSA which actually protects consumers instead of being magical “national security”.
Also, EU requires unanimity and not everyone thinks singling out TikTok instead of all corporate social media is the right action. This is not going anywhere in the EU.

… That’s how things start. You generally talk about things first, you have a conversation, and then you make a proposal. This whole thing seems to be complaining about timing or something.

If you have any information to prove me wrong, I’m open to hearing it.

Talking about it in our parliament is one of the first steps to take for laws.
Not exactly wrong but not right either.
Most weren’t in favor of shit like the north stream pipeline, they didn’t veto it however. We will see.

By their own admission, they need TikTok:
And is it even being brought to the full parliament? The article only mentioned intelligence committee.
Bad comparison. Unlike with banning TikTok, which would piss off a big part of EU population and give nothing in return, the pipeline offered cheaper energy prices, which all countries could take a political win on, despite the many valid concerns it had.
