TikTok Boss Avoids Musk Treatment as EU Issues Gentle Warnings

(Bloomberg) — The head of TikTok, the Chinese social media giant facing U.S. calls for a ban, was handed a series of polite compliance warnings by European Union commissioners who reined in the undiplomatic language they’ve recently aimed at Twitter Inc.’s owner Elon Musk.

While Chief Executive Officer Shou Zi Chew was told to make improvements in areas such as privacy to regain the trust of Europeans, the bloc’s top policymakers said Tuesday they appreciated the company’s efforts to engage with regulators.
