On Wednesday, 17 July 2024, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued its judgement in Case T-1077/23, dismissing the legal action brought by ByteDance, TikTok's parent company in November 2023, regarding the European Commission's decision to designate TikTok as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
