EU TikTok Lite Probe, Gamified Attention

The European Commission has launched a probe into "TikTok Lite" under the Digital Services Act, comparing the app's reward system to cigarette addiction. The "Lite" version allows users to earn points for watching videos, which can be traded for gift cards. Brussels regulators have threatened to suspend the program in Europe unless ByteDance can prove it does not harm the mental health of children.
