The European Commission has preliminarily found that TikTok violates the Digital Services Act due to its recommendation algorithm leading users into harmful "rabbit holes". This algorithm promotes continuous exposure to similar content, which can negatively impact mental health, especially among vulnerable users. TikTok has not adequately assessed the risks associated with its algorithm and has failed to implement effective mitigation measures. The Commission suggests that TikTok should redesign its "For You" feed to prioritize user preferences and improve content control tools. TikTok now has the opportunity to respond to these findings before any potential penalties are imposed.
