BREAKING: TikTok's addictive design breaches EU law. (Features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, highly personalised recommender system.) The EU is finally drawing a line: TikTok has to turn off their addictive tricks. We should be in control of our own time & attention, not Big Tech, be it 🇨🇳🇺🇸🇪🇺 #DefendDemocracy #HandsOffOurEU🇪🇺 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_312 Kudos to MEPs @kimvsparrentak@eupolicy.social and @alexandrageese@bonn.social for their fight.

    @AliceStollmeyer To me, the poignant (and repugnant) actuality in this BREAKING NEWS is that the EU intends to allow TikTok (etc.) to keep on keepin’ on. With a few measly twists and turns maybe. It shouldn’t be “continue and please tone down a bit”. It should be “nuh uh, begone! Don’t call back until you’ve repented, done penance and changed your broken ways entirely and then we may consider letting you back in. Shoo!”

    @kimvsparrentak @alexandrageese @AliceStollmeyer Doesn't this apply to every corporate social media platform though? Like, yeah, I agree that it needs to be reined in, but why only TikTok?
