EU finds TikTok violates its digital rule book by failing to protect privacy of minors

The European Commission found TikTok violated EU digital rules by failing to protect minors' privacy, allowing adults to access their accounts and exposing them to cyberbullying and predatory behavior. The EU also cited TikTok's 'addictive design' features, such as autoplay and infinite scrolling, as harmful to users' physical and mental health.
