The European Commission has ordered TikTok to change its personalized video feeds, accusing the platform of having 'harmful' effects on users' mental health. The commission alleges that TikTok's algorithm fuels addiction risks, eating disorders, and anxiety by trapping users in 'rabbit holes' of content related to topics like sadness, loneliness, and body image. TikTok faces a potential fine of up to six percent of its global annual turnover if it fails to comply.
