#TikTok fine

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). EU officials say TikTok failed to properly assess how features like infinite scroll, autoplay, and its powerful recommendation algorithms affect users, particularly minors, and did not implement enough safeguards to reduce those risks. TikTok has strongly rejected the accusations, calling the Commission’s view “categorically false and entirely meritless” and saying it will challenge the decision. 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. Fujifilm is set to unveil a new lineup of bridge cameras in the upcoming CES 2014, and one camera that caught our attention is the FinePix S1; a weather-sealed camera which offers 50-times zoom range (24-1,200). Apart from having an incredible zoom range, the FinePix S1’s lens also comes with a respectable aperture range (f/2.8 - 5.6), not to mention a 5-axis image-stabilization which helps in minimizing blur even in slow shutter speed.
