EU bans infinite scroll and autoplay in TikTok case

"Today, we preliminarily found TikTok in breach of #DSA for its addictive design. This includes features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and its highly personalised recommender system."

Deranged and clumsy overreach.

Autoplay and push notifications are under user control in most cases, infinite scroll is near-ubiquitous, and personalized recommendations are desired by most, and also common.

TikTok still has a right to defend themselves, so hopefully we get more careful and specific reasoning than this nonsense.
