TikTok has a problem. People who check things in Europe say TikTok is not open about ads.

The EU said TikTok needs to do better with its ads.

The group said ads are important for people to find bad ads and fake news, like in elections.

The DSA is a big book of rules. It wants to make social media better. It helps keep people safe from bad things, like wrong news about elections. Social media must tell people about ads. They must say why you see an ad and who paid for it.

The group said TikTok does not give info about ads, users, and who pays. It is hard to find ads.

TikTok is looking at the rules. TikTok wants to do what the rules say.

The company said: "We want to help. We are making our ads better. But we don't agree with some ideas. We need clear rules."

Henna said the ads are not good. We can't check them well. This is bad for safety.

Virkkunen said it is important to know about ads online. Who pays for them? Who sees them? We need to know this to help people. It helps with votes, health, and to stop bad ads. People need to know who makes the ads they see.

TikTok can talk to the group before they say what will happen. TikTok may need to pay money.

TikTok is being looked at in Europe. This is about if it helped stop problems in Romania's election. The election had problems last year.
