EU Investigates TikTok Over "Addictive" Money-for-Views Feature

The EU launched an investigation into TikTok's spinoff app Lite on April 22, threatening to suspend a feature that rewards users for watching and liking videos due to concerns about potential risks to mental health. The EU regulators have also expressed their intent to fine TikTok over potentially addictive features on the app. Additionally, the US Senate is preparing to vote on a bill that could force ByteDance to sell or be banned from operating TikTok in the US.
