The European Union has warned TikTok that it must change what regulators describe as the app’s “addictive design” or risk fines of up to 6% of its global annual revenue under the Digital Services Act (DSA). Under the DSA, the EU can levy fines of up to 6% of a company’s worldwide turnover for serious violations, making this a potentially multibillion-dollar hit for TikTok’s parent company ByteDance if the findings are upheld. Analysts describe it as a warning shot to the whole industry, suggesting that attention-maximizing UX patterns and dark design choices are now firmly on the regulatory radar, not just in Europe but likely in other markets watching how the DSA is enforced.
