"Today, the European Commission preliminarily found TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act for its addictive design. This includes features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and its highly personalised recommender system."

IMHO it is a very slippery slope to start judging "addictive design" as an offence, especially over such trivial features...

Do you have a better idea?

Don't overlegislate and overcontrol?

Is that your way of saying do nothing, or does it mean something else?

And let big tech keep researching and using hostile psychological patterns in their services? Nobody wants overregulation and over control, but there's gotta be a line somewhere, and when corporations are deliberately exploiting addiction for profits (including with children), we're way past the line in my book
