TikTok's 'For You' feed faces DSA scrutiny
On 6 November, the Commission issued preliminary findings that TikTok's 'For You' recommender feed may breach DSA systemic-risk obligations because of harmful repeated-content 'rabbit holes'. The concerns cover risk assessment and mitigation, especially for minors and vulnerable users. These are preliminary findings, not a final decision.
