Commission preliminarily finds TikTok in breach of DSA over For You feed
Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 11/06/2026 - 12:09 The European Commission has preliminarily found TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act (DSA) for the so-called ‘rabbit hole effect’ of its recommender system. ByteDance is an Internet company based in Beijing, and its products and services include TikTok. TikTok's ‘For You' feed shows users a continuous stream of personalised videos, even when those are related to mental health struggles and body image. The more a user interacts with a certain type of content, the more TikTok's ‘For You' feed algorithm recommends similar content. This design can be harmful when such endless and repeated exposure involves, for example, content about sadness, isolation or body image.
