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.

ban Insta, TikTok and Youtube Shorts.

I can't come up with any good reasons we should let a foreign company have this level of control of europeans minds, specially youth.

And it's not about "free speech", this we get with a mastodon for example.

This is about giving the power to direct attention to whatever a foreign entity wants and thus control of public opinion.
