"The European Commission's preliminary ruling against TikTok will send shivers down the spines of Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and every other social media boss"
"Forget the under-16 bans - the European Commission's finding that TikTok must change its app or leave the market is a far more powerful way to really tackle the dangers of social media for kids."
"Brussels' preliminary ruling today says that TikTok will now need to "change the basic design of its service"."
European Commission's preliminary ruling requires TikTok to change its core app design or leave the EU market. The requirement is presented as a far stronger mechanism than under-16 bans to address social media dangers for children. The ruling explicitly instructs TikTok to "change the basic design of its service". The measure signals heightened regulatory scrutiny that could alarm leaders across major social platforms. The ruling implies that platform design elements and engagement-driving features may face direct legal constraints to reduce harm to underage users and prioritise safety over growth-driven mechanics.
