The EU told TikTok to change its app. The EU says TikTok's design is bad for people, especially children. TikTok has features like autoplay and infinite scroll. These features can be addictive.
The EU started checking TikTok in February 2024. They found that TikTok did not protect its users well. TikTok did not check if its features could harm people.
If TikTok does not change, it must pay a lot of money. The fine could be 6% of all the money TikTok makes. TikTok says the EU is wrong. Young people want TikTok to care more about their health.
