@EUCommission, financial fines are not enough. If a company is allowed to still operate in EU while just paying fines and being sued, it may just accept it as a business cost.
Instead, when company fails to comply with our laws, it must stop operations in EU. They have chance to comply, even several. If they are not capable of using them, they are threat to Europe and must be dealt as such.

Ban TikTok , X and META!
@hyevans @EUCommission …and Alphabet. And Amazon. And Microslop. And OpenAI.

"Kids between 12 and 15 spend 4 to 5 hours daily on Tiktok."
140 million users in the European Union alone.
Tiktok sure is an abomination but one must ask as well why parents and grandparents are so busy that they can't properly engage with their own kids. The cost of living crisis made of Tiktok a convenient child minder. Same with Youtube, on that regard.
@albertcardona @EUCommission What part of addictive and manipulative flew past you? That’s what it does, capturing attention.

That is not the only problem. Consider this :
@hyevans @EUCommission Did anyone ever think differently? The Ellisons and the rest of the oligarchs are all about propaganda!

ban Insta, TikTok and Youtube Shorts.
I can't come up with any good reasons we should let a foreign company have this level of control of europeans minds, specially youth.
And it's not about "free speech", this we get with a mastodon for example.
This is about giving the power to direct attention to whatever a foreign entity wants and thus control of public opinion.

@EUCommission OR join our #FOSS alternative called #Loops!

@EUCommission @stux, well, when I check, even #Loops have infinite scroll and autoplay
As a free software and decentralized application, still better than TikTok, but done similar issues are there also

Preventing addiction requires continuous human contact – which was absent. The path to recovery from addiction requires continuous human contact – which is unclear where it will come from.

@EUCommission Leibe EU Kommision. Könnt ihr bitte was dagegen unternehmen das die Wirtschaft Druck auf die Politik ausüben. So was tut man nicht, das ist Nötigung .

@EUCommission
#Mastodon also has those design features!Autoplay? Where? Also there is no algorithm on mastodon. You are expected to curate your own experience.

@albertcardona @EUCommission We can still look up from our broken screens and find there’s a world out there, with people in it.
Having that epiphany would not be the apocalypse it is made out to be.

Simply excellent conclusion… rolling out these sociological experiments untested for profit should simply be stopped. Rules and regulations is what we need.

Hello @hans! First, TikTok now as the right to a written defence. After this, if a breach of the DSA is established, a fine can indeed be a consequence.
In a recent example, the company X was fined €120 million for breaching transparency obligations, including deceptive design practices and lack of transparency in its advertising repository.
You can learn more about how enforcement proceedings work here: https://link.europa.eu/3kC9Vg@EUCommission @hans 120 million for Twitter is like 10 cents for anyone in these comments. Fines for violations like these should come in entire pieces of yearly profits
-
@EUCommission 6% only? why not 10? make it a fine that's worthwhile the ensuing law suits!
@energisch_ @EUCommission Not sure if its the DSA, but one or more of these EU laws gets more and more severe over time. If they don’t improve they’ll be investigated again and fined again, but with a higher amount.

@EUCommission No shit. This has always been the plan for short-form video, as well as the shift with Social Media sites since '15. They are designed to addict, unlike the earlier forms, where you just had a profile and used it as a messaging service.
