EU Demands TikTok Modify Its Design to Reduce User Addiction

A preliminary investigation by the EU executive found that "TikTok did not adequately assess how these addictive features could harm the



physical and mental wellbeing of its users, including minors and vulnerable adults". 

To avoid the risk of heavy fines, the commission said the Chinese-owned platform needed to make wide-ranging changes, citing concerns with "infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and its highly personalised recommender system."
