EU tells TikTok to change 'harmful' For You feed

The EU has demanded TikTok to alter its 'For You' feed design, citing risks to children and vulnerable users from harmful content exposure. The European Commission criticized the platform's algorithm for promoting related videos, potentially leading to negative impacts on mental health. TikTok has rejected these claims, asserting its commitment to user safety. The EU's call for changes follows previous warnings about addictive features and aims to enhance protections for young users. If TikTok fails to comply, it could face fines up to 6% of its global revenue.
