We've preliminary found that TikTok is in breach of the DSA for its addictive design. There are important indicators of compulsive use of the app that TikTok has disregarded in its risk assessment. Key features of the addictive design: 🔹Infinite scroll 🔹Autoplay 🔹Push notifications 🔹Highly personalised recommender system We consider that TikTok needs to change the basic design of its service. TikTok can now exercise its right to examine and reply to the finding.
We stand in solidarity with EU countries. Together, we are holding online platforms accountable. Online platforms bring many benefits, but they also pose risks such as addictive features, harmful content, and threats to children, consumers, democracies, and elections. The DSA sets clear rules to protect everyone in the EU, from scams and dangerous products to freedom of expression and fair elections. Together, we are making the online environment in Europe safe, transparent, and trustworthy.
Online platforms have always held all the cards. The DSA is changing that. One clear set of rules to protect people across the EU. 🔸 It’s about choice. The DSA requires the biggest platforms to offer a feed that isn't based on your personal data. 🔸 It’s about safety. What’s illegal offline should be illegal online. 🔸 It’s about freedom. In Europe, you have the right to challenge content moderation decisions taken by platforms. An internet that works for people. More: image
