EU Warns TikTok: Fix Addictive Design or Face Massive Fines

• The EU has warned TikTok to address its "addictive design" or risk substantial fines under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
• Preliminary findings indicate TikTok isn't effectively mitigating negative impacts, especially on minors and vulnerable adults.
• Concerns include infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and personalized recommender systems leading to compulsive use.
• TikTok has rejected the findings, calling them "categorically false" and plans to challenge them.
• If confirmed, TikTok could face fines up to six percent of its total worldwide annual turnover.
