TikTok’s For You page needs to change, says the EU

The European Commission alleges that TikTok's recommendation algorithm creates a "rabbit hole effect" that can harm users through repeated exposure to content about sadness, isolation, or body image, and says TikTok's existing controls are not effective. In preliminary findings, regulators say TikTok must change the design of its For You feed or face fines of up to 6 percent of its global annual turnover. It is the first time the Commission has cited a recommendation algorithm as the reason for a breach of the Digital Services Act.
