The European Commission says TikTok broke EU rules. They think TikTok's app is too addictive. This is bad for young people. The Commission will make TikTok change its app. Or, TikTok must pay big money. This started in February 2024.
The Commission found TikTok did not stop harm to users. This is true for children too. Auto-play videos can be harmful. TikTok did not do enough to stop risks. They look at scrolling and messages. They also look at what the app shows you. These things keep people using the app. Screen time tools are not good.
TikTok disagrees. They say the Commission is wrong. TikTok will fight this decision.
TikTok must change its app in the EU. If not, they will pay a big fine. The EU wants TikTok to add breaks at night. They want changes to video suggestions. They also want to stop endless scrolling. This is not to ban TikTok. It is about safety rules for apps.
