22/06/2020 (Agence Europe) – The director general of the European Digital Media Association (EDiMA), Siada El Ramly, announced on Monday 22 June that the social network TikTok had officially signed the EU Code of Practice on Disinformation (see EUROPE 12104/1). Mrs El Ramly, speaking at a conference organised by the European Regulators Group for Audiovisual Media Services (ERGA), said that “the company’s full list of commitments” had been sent to the Commission. The ERGA recently lamented, in a report pointing out the Code’s “significant weaknesses”, that platforms such as TikTok, WhatsApp and Messenger had not yet signed the Code (see EUROPE 12480/16). “Negotiations with WhatsApp are also underway”, announced the Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of Values and Transparency, Věra Jourová (see EUROPE 12503/1) on 10 June.
