The lawsuit announced this Tuesday by the BEUC, a federation of consumer organizations, pursues ambiguity in the privacy policies of this social network. An ambiguity that is exposing minors, a debate that has been prioritized after a 10-year-old girl died in Italy and the Mediterranean country adopted drastic measures against the company. However, the BEUC has not only put TikTok on its radar. The company of Chinese origin is one of the big technology companies that consumer associations across the continent have been pointing out for months. Apple and the obsolescence that its iPhone 6 suffered through an update has also been put into focus. The responsibility of e-commerce platforms such as Amazon or eBay were already in the spotlight during the first months of the pandemic, when these portals were filled with miraculous products against COVID-19.
They demand that Apple pay more than 100 euros in Spain to each user who saw their iPhone lose performance: "We deserve the same respect as the Americans" At the end of last year, the BEUC also received support from the French Government, which introduced a "repairability index" in French stores: a numerical indicator that must appear next Europe Cell Phone Number List to any appliance on sale and reflects how simple or difficult it is. which is to repair it in case it breaks down.

In Europe, work has already begun on the drafts of two new regulations, that of Digital Services and that of the Digital Market. Google even disclosed internal documents to its staff explaining what its campaign would be like to react to this purpose.

The third is precisely that of consumers.
