The European Union has accused TikTok of breaching its digital rules. The EU says TikTok's algorithm recommends videos that could harm mental health and body image. The bloc's executive arm wants TikTok to change its “For You” feed design to give users more control. Regulators say TikTok's recommendation system leads users into “rabbit holes” of similar, potentially harmful content. TikTok hasn't responded yet. The company can respond before the European Commission issues a final decision, which could include a fine. This is part of the EU's enforcement under the Digital Services Act, which aims to clean up tech platforms.
