The Netherlands’ Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) has opened an investigation into social media application Snapchat on suspicion of breaching the EU’s online platform rules for allowing the sale of electronic cigarettes, or vapes, to minors, the authority said in a statement today.
The move follows a complaint filed by Dutch doctors late last month, for failure to take measures to ban the sale of illegal electronic cigarettes, or vapes, which they claim is in breach of the EU’s online platform rules - the Digital Services Act (DSA).
