The European Commission has declared its preliminary findings in an investigation into everyone's favourite infinite-scrolling app, TikTok. In a press release, the EU regulator says that it found TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act (DCA) for its "addictive design".
"This includes features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and its highly personalised recommender system," says the report. "The Commission's investigation preliminarily indicates 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."
