The European Union says TikTok must change its app to stop kids getting hooked. EU authorities said TikTok breaks online content rules with endless scrolling, autoplay, push notifications, and a personalised algorithm. Henna Virkkunen, EU tech chief, said, "TikTok has to take actions and they have to change the design of their service in Europe to protect our minors." European Commission spokesman Thomas Regnier explained, "The measures that TikTok has in place are simply not enough. These features lead to the compulsive use of the app, especially for our kids, and this poses major risks to their mental health and wellbeing." Regnier added TikTok violates the Digital Services Act and could face fines up to 6 percent of ByteDance's global turnover. TikTok replied, "The Commission’s preliminary findings present a categorically false and entirely meritless depiction of our platform, and we will take whatever steps are necessary to challenge these findings." The EU probe began in February 2024 after seeing "alarming" data. TikTok is the most-used social app after midnight by children aged 13 to 18. Also, 7 percent of kids aged 12 to 15 spend four to five hours daily on TikTok. EU countries want stronger rules for social media, focusing on protecting young users. TikTok’s powerful algorithm picks user interests and feeds related videos, raising addiction concerns. The EU demands big changes to make TikTok safer for children.
