The EU has warned TikTok about "disinformation" spreading on the platform after Hamas' attack on Israel.
It urged CEO Shou Zi Chew to "urgently step up" efforts, and spell out "within the next 24 hours" how it's complying with EU law.
Social media firms have seen a surge in misinformation about the conflict, including doctored images and mislabelled videos.
The EU previously warned X, formerly Twitter, and Meta about such content.
