They banned it on staff devices, but I haven’t heard anything about them considering banning it for everyone. Do you have any details?

I don’t think that’s actually true
It just calls to talk from what I can see. Nothing even resembling a legal proposal. And EU already can ban it via DSA which actually protects consumers instead of being magical “national security”.
Also, EU requires unanimity and not everyone thinks singling out TikTok instead of all corporate social media is the right action. This is not going anywhere in the EU.
… That’s how things start. You generally talk about things first, you have a conversation, and then you make a proposal. This whole thing seems to be complaining about timing or something. The US went really fast to the actual proposal for some reason, other countries are still talking.
If you have any information to prove me wrong, I’m open to hearing it.
Again, the start of everything is to talk. That you are not satisfied that the talks are not fast enough, or widespread enough, or whatever doesn’t mean what you are claiming.

By their own admission, they need TikTok:
And is it even being brought to the full parliament? The article only mentioned intelligence committee.
Bad comparison. Unlike with banning TikTok, which would piss off a big part of EU population and give nothing in return, the pipeline offered cheaper energy prices, which all countries could take a political win on, despite the many valid concerns it had.
