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.

Kinder zwischen 12 und 15 Jahren verbringen täglich zwischen 4 und 5 Stunden auf TikTok.
140 Millionen Nutzer, allein in Europa.
Das Statement finde ich gelungen - es muss dann auch umgesetzt werden.
