TikTok faces EU fines for addictive features
Engadget (@engadget)
EU가 TikTok이 '중독적 설계(addictive design)'을 사용하고 있다고 지적하며 변경을 요구했다고 보도되었습니다. 플랫폼 설계와 관련한 규제·감독 강화의 일환으로, 디지털 서비스·사용자 보호 측면에서 중요한 정책적 움직임입니다.
"Dabei sehen Expertinnen und Experten längst nicht mehr die Nutzerinnen und Nutzern so sehr in der Verantwortung, sondern vielmehr die Plattformen und Konzerne – und auch die Politik."
So cool how @bitsoffreedom keeps up the pressure against #Meta #Facebook #Instagram in the Dutch courts to ensure compliance with the #DigitalServicesAct 💪
New compliance deadline to redesign the apps is 31 December!

"The second approach is much broader, covering every social media user, and that’s tackling the way the platforms function. We have plenty of reporting and research that shows social media platforms are designed to be addictive — to ensure people spend more time on the app, thus generating more advertising profits. Social media platforms learned techniques from gambling companies to keep users hooked by using likes, notifications, and other methods to entice people to keep coming back, triggering dopamine responses that their brains craved even if the platforms made them feel worse at the same time.
Tackling those addiction design practices, dark patterns in interface design that nudge people to perform certain actions, and the way the platforms’ algorithms spread and amplify certain (often extreme or sensationalist) content to keep people engaged is a more difficult task than a hard age limit. Despite the country’s decision to move forward with an age limit, Australia’s eSafety Commissioner has already been examining and reporting on platform design issues and the issues with algorithmic recommendation systems.
If we’re serious about minimizing the harms of social media platforms, design interventions and algorithmic limits are a much more promising approach."

@peterhense und @spiritlegal schlagen wieder zu: Class Action gegen #X und #TikTok wegen #Desinformation, #AddictiveDesign und rechtswidrigem #Profiling. Man kann die Arbeit dieser Truppe nie genug hervorheben und wenn die Vorbereitungen abgeschlossen sind kann man sich der Klage auch noch anschließen.
Die Rechtsanwaltskanzlei Spirit Legal vertritt die niederländische Stiftung für Marktinformationsforschung (Stichting Onderzoek Marktinformatie, SOMI) bei vier grenzüberschreitenden Kollektivklagen in Deutschland gegen TikTok und X (ehemals Twitter). Die Klagen betreffen Verstöße gegen deutsches und EU-Recht, insbesondere den Digital Services Act (DSA), die Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO) sowie die neue KI-Verordnung (AI Act). Neben Unterlassung rechtswidriger Praktiken beider Plattformen fordern die Klagen Schadensersatz in Milliardenhöhe.
