EU Says TikTok Design Makes Users Addicted
European Union regulators found TikTok's design harms users. The app has infinite scroll, which means the page keeps loading more content without stopping.
The app also uses a personalized algorithm that learns what you like. Together, these features make people use the app too much.
This is especially bad for children and vulnerable adults. The European Union says TikTok broke digital rules.
TikTok may be forced to change how the app works. The changes would make it less addictive.
Klear Note — The EU enforces strict digital rules protecting users from harmful app designs. TikTok is one of the world's most popular apps with billions of users worldwide.
