On 6 February 2026, the European Commission disclosed its long-awaited preliminary findings regarding its investigation into whether TikTok, the social media platform used by 170 million people across the European Union, is in breach of the Digital Services Act. The announcement occurs at a time when political and public concerns about the potential harmful impact of social media platforms are at an all-time high, leading to calls to “ban” children and teenagers from those spaces in countries across the world.  As “addictive” features are central to concerns leading to these contested calls, the potential of the Digital Services Act to change platform design is crucial.
