"The European Commission has opened formal proceedings to assess whether TikTok may have breached the Digital Services Act (DSA) in areas linked
to the protection of minors, advertising transparency, data access for researchers, as well as the risk management of addictive design and
harmful content.
On the basis of the preliminary investigation conducted so far,
including on the basis of an analysis of the risk assessment report sent
by TikTok in September 2023, as well as TikTok's replies to the
Commission's formal Requests for Information (on illegal content,
protection of minors, and data access), the Commission has decided to
open formal proceedings against TikTok under the Digital Services Act."
"The compliance with the DSA obligations related to the assessment and mitigation of systemic risks, in terms of actual or foreseeable negative effects stemming from the design of TikTok's system, including
algorithmic systems, that may stimulate behavioural addictions and/ or
create so-called ‘rabbit hole effects'. Such assessment is required to counter potential risks for the exercise of the fundamental right to the person's physical and mental well-being, the respect of the rights of
the child as well as its impact on radicalisation processes.
Furthermore, the mitigation measures in place in this respect, notably
age verification tools used by TikTok to prevent access by minors to inappropriate content, may not be reasonable, proportionate and effective;"
As usual it seem the UK seems to tolerate if not even foster these
behaviour from rogue and dodgy platforms.

We have the Online Safety Act and we were promised that because it is British, it would be far more effective than any of that foreign legislation. https://www.wired.com/story/the-uks-controversial-online-safety-act-is-now-law/

Chinese lobby? Because in the USA, if you dare criticize Tiktok, you are >automatically labelled as anti-Asian racist white pig.

This does seem to be part of an American move to disable TikTok, which they don't like because it is Chinese. Is it really any worse than Snapchat, Twitter (which has few controls and those changed from day to day by Elon Musk) Instagram and Facebook?
