The EU said TikTok is not clear about its adverts. This breaks the rules.

The EU said TikTok's ad place is not good enough. It does not follow the rules.

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

The DSA is a set of rules to make social media better and safer. It helps protect people from bad information, like wrong news about elections. Social media must show who pays for ads and why people see them.

The group said TikTok does not give all the info about what is in ads, who sees them, and who pays. You can't easily find ads using this info, so the tool is not very good, they said.

TikTok said they are looking at what the group found. They want to do what they need to do.

"We want to make ads clear, but we don't agree with everything the group said. They are telling us what to do in early papers, not in rules for everyone."

Henna Virkkunen said the ad system has problems. Because of these problems, we can't check all the bad things that could happen when ads are shown to people. She works for the government and cares about tech, safety, and fair rules.

Virkkunen said it's important to know who pays for ads online and who sees them. This helps keep things fair for everyone. People should know who is showing them ads, to protect elections, health, and stop scams.

TikTok can now answer before the group decides. They may need to pay money, up to 6% of their yearly income.

TikTok is being checked in Europe. They want to know if it did enough to stop problems in Romania's election. The election had issues last year. People said there were unfair things and help from Russia.
