BRUSSELS, Belgium: The EU voiced concerns about "harmful" content posted on Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube as it told the digital platforms on Oct 2 to hand over more information on how their platforms recommend content to users.

The European Commission, the EU's powerful digital watchdog, said the three platforms must "provide more information on the design and functioning of their recommender systems".
