: 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!

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

@HennaVirkkunen Indeed, there are lots of things that are wrong with TikTok. Luckily, the Fediverse has an alternative to TikTok called Loops, that is gaining pace, and is welcoming new users.
@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

Good step, but more swift and broader action is needed "ASAP"…

Infinite scroll? You gotta be fucking kidding me. Like, you're gonna ban Google search next? You're posting on Mastodon, but you're not familiar with the global timeline? Now I really have to wonder if it's a real human there? -

It's a very different kind of infinite scroll of it's really tailored to keep you addicted.

@Tuuktuuk @HennaVirkkunen How do you objectively distinguish from "evil" infinite scroll and "good" infinite scroll? Perhaps the evil lies in the addictive nature of highly personalized recommendations instead.

Precisely. The highly personalized recommendations are the key problem. And infinite scroll is an amplifier that makes that problem a couple magnitudes worse yet.
