Core Viewpoint - The European Commission has concluded that TikTok's design promotes addiction, violating the EU's Digital Services Act, and TikTok has labeled these findings as "completely wrong" [1][3]. Group 1: Investigations and Findings - The European Commission announced a new investigation into TikTok Lite in France and Spain, expressing concerns that the app's features could lead to addiction in children without proper risk assessments [1]. - The initial investigation revealed that TikTok failed to adequately assess the mental health impacts of its autoplay features and did not implement effective risk mitigation measures [2]. Group 2: Recommendations and Potential Penalties - The European Commission suggested several measures for TikTok, including implementing a "screen use break" mechanism at night and disabling "infinite scrolling" to prevent rapid content consumption [2]. - TikTok could face fines of up to 6% of its global annual revenue, potentially amounting to billions of dollars, unless it alters its service design in Europe [3]. Group 3: Global Trends and Legislative Actions - Various countries are enacting or considering restrictions on social media use for minors, with Australia being the first to implement a ban on social media for users under 16 [3]. - The UK and France are also moving towards similar legislation, with the UK Parliament passing an amendment to ban social media for users under 16 and France planning to enforce a ban for those under 15 [5][7].
