This includes features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and its highly personalised recommender system.
TikTok seems to fail to implement reasonable, proportionate and effective measures to mitigate risks stemming from its addictive design.
At this stage, the Commission considers that TikTok needs to change the basic design of its service.

@HennaVirkkunen Nice, what’s gonna happen now?
@hermes @HennaVirkkunen "TikTok now has the possibility to exercise its right to defence. It may examine the documents in the Commission's investigation files and reply in writing to the Commission's preliminary findings. In parallel, the European Board for Digital Services will be consulted.
If the Commission's views are ultimately confirmed, the Commission may issue a non-compliance decision, which can trigger a fine proportionate to the nature, gravity, recurrence and duration of the infringement and reach up to but not more than 6% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the provider."

: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_312@HennaVirkkunen WTF Infinte scrolling is now demonized? WTF is your problem? Where do you even live? The moon? Get your head out your ass.
People like you are the issue in our societies.
Too rich and pampered searching for validation for their existence by doing meaningless, destructive policing no one asked for.
You are the problem.
You want censorship and to spy on everyone, except yourself and your class.
Disgusting.
The level of self-righteous pseudoactivism is unbelievable.
Get your fucking head straight. -

: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_312@HennaVirkkunen This is a fabulous breakthrough. No longer the emperor's new clothes ... expect gigantic backlash as precious profits - made on the back of the addictiveness - will reduce. Heaven forbid!

: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_312@HennaVirkkunen infinite scrolling probably isn't the biggest issue with that "platform". Just ban it, but please do it for real reasons

thank you! Now on to demolishing the international trafficking of personal data, otherwise known as Real-Time Bidding, which we have known for years is completely void of a legal basis -

: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_312@HennaVirkkunen I certainly recognize those things together do make for an addictive experience. That the EU requires effective mitigation via time management controls is interesting.
I suppose these should indeed have some sensible defaults that try to discourage people from staying with the app indefinitely and aren't too trivially dismissed... I wonder what ideas @dansup has regarding features like these for the @loops platform.

: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_312@HennaVirkkunen most socisl media app hsve those same ux and ui pattern. This is ridiculous. Tiktok should have fines for dangerous trends and challanges on the platform and for censorship instead

@Enea90 @HennaVirkkunen loops has an algorithms all algorithms can be addictive even the ethical one. Loops also have infinite scrolling . Sorry but the arguments are bad and if loops get mainstream the EU will go after it
