The Italian Antitrust Authority said
Tuesday that it has opened a probe into TikTok over a dangerous
challenge involving teenagers that has been featuring on the
platform.
The probe regards the so-called 'French scar' (cicatrice
francese) challenge in which young people pinch each others'
faces so hard it leaves a mark.
The authority accuses TikTok of failing to put into place
adequate systems to monitor the content published by third
parties and remove dangerous content that instigates suicide,
self-harm or harmful dietary habits.
