The European Commission has told TikTok to change its For You feed, saying the algorithm is "leading users down rabbit holes they cannot easily escape from," Al Jazeera English reported. The commission said the feature is harmful and warned that failure to act could result in fines. TikTok was given a deadline to address the concerns, though the exact timeline was not disclosed. Officials said the move aims to protect users from content that traps them in endless loops, and to ensure the platform complies with EU digital rules.
Why it matters
The EU’s demand could force TikTok to redesign its recommendation system, affecting how millions of users encounter content.
