Younger users express concerns about TikTok's addictive and toxic nature, posing risks of falling into harmful content patterns. Exposure to mental health- related content may exacerbate these risks, leading to the promotion of depressive thoughts, self-harm, and suicide on the platform's "For You" feed. <br /> <br /> TikTok's profit-driven approach invades privacy by tracking user activity to personalize content and target ads. This addictive design undermines privacy, health, and freedom of thought rights, particularly for younger users. <br /> <br /> While TikTok restricts personalized ads for young European users, global users remain subjected to this intrusive practice. Global implementation of ad restrictions and providing users with informed consent options for personalized feeds could mitigate these risks. <br /> <br /> Furthermore, TikTok should enhance protections to prevent addictive behaviors and exposure to harmful content, especially among vulnerable users. Measures such as daily time limits for minors should be effective in minimizing harm.
