The European Commission has preliminarily found TikTok in breach of the Digital Services Act over the 'rabbit hole' effect of its 'For You' recommender system, AuditSocials' regulator tracker shows. The Commission announced the findings on its official website on November 6, 2026.
According to the Commission, the feed serves a continuous stream of personalised videos, including content related to mental health struggles and body image, and recommends more similar content the more a user engages with it. The Commission said this can harm users' mental health, especially that of vulnerable adults and minors.
The findings cover both TikTok's risk assessment and its mitigation measures. They are preliminary and are not a final decision. The Commission's announcement does not set out a penalty.
AuditSocials recorded the announcement on November 7, 2026. Its tracker also recorded preliminary DSA findings from the Commission against TikTok on July 24, 2026, concerning the safety of minors' accounts.
