The article mention directly a tweet from Thierry Breton: https://twitter.com/ThierryBreton/status/1780585191108423941

We have just sent a request for information regarding the launch of #TikTokLite.

We will spare no effort to protect minors under the #DSA.

'Is social media "lite" as addictive and toxic as cigarettes "light"?

We have just sent a request for information regarding the launch of #TikTokLite.

We will spare no effort to protect minors under the #DSA.'




A tweet really doesn't say if the DSA applies here though, politicians attempt to misuse laws and regulations all the time.

My reading of the DSA is that is is primarily about disclosure of how content algorithms work, not the impact on users. I could very well be wrong there, but a tweet claiming they want to use the DSA as enforcement there doesn't really clarify anything unfortunately.
