EU says TikTok's For You feed breaches the Digital Services Act over 'rabbit hole' effect
The European Commission has preliminarily found that TikTok's 'For You' feed breaches the EU Digital Services Act because its recommender system can pull users into repeated streams of content about sadness, isolation or body image. TikTok rejects the findings; if they are confirmed, the company faces a fine of up to 6% of global annual turnover.
